Ingredients
  

  • 12 Crab Claws
  • 600 g Shrimps
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Sugar
  • ½ tsp White pepper
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch
  • As required Sesame oil

Step-by-step Guide

  • Defrost crab claws and shrimps at room temperature. Steam the crab claws for 5 minutes if they are not precooked.
  • Pat dry both crab claws and shrimps for the best texture.
  • Smack the shrimps with a knife, then mince them by the back of the knife.
  • Add salt, sugar, white pepper, corn starch, sesame oil and beaten eggs to the minced shrimps.
  • Keep mixing and slapping the minced shrimp into a bowl until sticky.
  • Form shrimp paste onto crab claws. Coat with bread crumbs.

Cooking Tips

  1. The texture of shrimps will be mushy if chopping them by the cutting edge of a knife. Do not do so.
  2. Keep stirring the claws while frying to avoid sticking on the bottom of the pot.
  3. Serve with cocktail sauce, sweet chilli dipping sauce or ranch sauce.
