Mastering the Art of Shrimp Patty
Step 1: Preparing the Shrimp
After acquiring the shrimp, meticulously clean and trim them. Remove the whiskers, head, legs, and discard the dark vein along the back and abdomen. Subsequently, rinse the shrimp thoroughly with diluted saltwater and pat dry.
Once the shrimp are dry, place them in the freezer for approximately 30 - 40 minutes. This step facilitates smoother and fluffier blending for the patty mixture. After the shrimp have slightly firmed up, transfer them to the cooler compartment of the fridge.

Step 2: Prepare Other Ingredients
Pork Shoulder: Wash and pat dry the meat. Then, slice it into small pieces and place them in the freezer until they're slightly chilled. Once ready, grind the meat into a smooth paste.
Spring Onions: Clean and finely chop the spring onions. You can either blend them with the pork shoulder or reserve them for the final step of the shrimp patty preparation.

Step 3: Grinding the Shrimp Patty
Place shrimp meat in a food processor along with spices including pepper, bouillon powder, MSG, garlic powder. Grind the shrimp meat until it turns white and fluffy. Once the shrimp meat is smooth and elastic, add the previously ground pork shoulder and finely chopped spring onions.
Turn on the food processor once more and grind until the mixture is well combined. At this stage, you can also choose to mix both the shrimp and pork together in a bowl and mix thoroughly. However, this method often results in uneven distribution of ingredients.

Step 4: Finalize the Shrimp Patty
Apply a little cooking oil on your palm. Then, take each portion of the blended shrimp patty and shape them into round or flat patties as desired. It's advisable to make them bite-sized to ensure easy frying.
Heat a pan and cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the shaped shrimp patties into the pan and fry until golden brown on all sides. When the shrimp patties are cooked through, remove them from the pan and drain excess oil.
Shape the shrimp patty into bite-sized pieces
Another method to ensure thorough cooking of the patty, especially for those cautious about seafood, is to steam it before frying. This method is also applicable when making a large-sized shrimp patty.
To steam the patty, simply place the shaped shrimp patty on a plate and steam for 5 - 7 minutes. Then, allow the steamed patty to cool completely before frying it as usual until all sides are golden brown.
Prepare the dipping sauce for the shrimp patty
Shrimp patty pairs well with various dipping sauces. Among them, the most common is a sweet and tangy fish sauce with garlic and chili. Additionally, you can also enjoy shrimp patty with chili paste or tomato sauce.
