You scoop 1 tablespoon of shrimp from step 2 into your palm, then flatten it and place 1/2 tablespoon of grated cheese in the center, afterwards, wrap the shrimp meat tightly.
Next, you roll the cheese shrimp ball into a round shape and roll it over a plate of green rice flakes so that the flakes coat the shrimp ball evenly.
You add 1 pan of cooking oil to the bowl and place it on the stove, heating it over medium heat for about 3 – 5 minutes until the oil is hot, then drop each cheese shrimp ball in.
Fry until the shrimp balls are golden brown for about 5 – 7 minutes, then remove and let them drain the oil to finish.

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the shrimp you bought, peel them, then use a knife to chop the shrimp meat finely and put it in a bowl. Add 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon of dried seaweed, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, then mix well to combine the ingredients.
-
Preparation
Once the shrimp filling is ready, you can start rolling it into balls. Divide the Laughing Cow cheese into small pieces to put inside the filling.
To ensure hygiene, you need to wear gloves. Take a sufficient amount of shrimp meat in your hand, place a piece of cheese inside, and then use your hand to roll the shrimp meat so that the cheese doesn’t stick out. Do this until all the shrimp meat is used up.
After rolling the balls, place them in the freezer for about 1 hour so that the shrimp balls firm up and maintain their round shape when frying without breaking. After freezing, take them out and roll the shrimp balls in a layer of egg, then a layer of batter, and finally a layer of breadcrumbs before frying.
Meanwhile, pour oil into the pan, turn on the stove to low heat, and wait for the oil to heat up. Once hot, add the shrimp balls to fry, ensuring they are submerged in oil for even cooking on all sides and inside.

Finished Product
The shrimp balls after frying have the fragrant smell of seaweed, with the hot melted cheese inside looking very appealing. When eaten, the shrimp meat is tender and sweet, and the rich cheese can be dipped in chili sauce to enhance the deliciousness of the dish.
