Soup-filled Shrimp Balls

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Soup-filled Shrimp Balls are made from finely minced fresh shrimp meat, blended smoothly into a paste. This mixture is then combined with cornstarch and seasonings, shaped into balls, and injected with rich broth. The balls are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until crispy. They arrive at the table gleaming and tempting, offering a delightful contrast of a crispy outer layer and a juicy, aromatic interior. The highlight is the way the luscious broth blends seamlessly with the crunchy, breadcrumb-coated shrimp paste—reminiscent of the burst of flavor in xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), yet leaving a lingering, savory aftertaste that stays with you.
