Advice
To make them more crispy and appetizing, we have chosen to fry the prawn balls, but it is also possible to make the version cooked, lighter. In the latter case, they should be placed on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, drizzled with a drizzle of olive oil and cooked in 200°C For about 15 minutes.
storage
You can save the shrimp dumplings for 1 day iin the refrigerator, in an airtight container, but it is advisable to consume them immediately after preparation, to appreciate them at best.
