Savoury Prawn balls

Prawn balls

 These savoury prawn balls with their crusty outer cover are a very tempting snack with a dollop of ketchup on the side. 

You can even pack these in school lunch boxes as they will stay crispy and crunchy for hours and taste even better.  Busy mums can store the prepared prawn balls in the freezer and deep-fry, them whenever needed.

You will need only a few regular ingredients for this.  So, let's get ready to fry them up!

Prawn Balls

Gather the following ingredients;

Ingredients                Quantities

Cooked prawns  1 cup
Slices of bread   2
Onion  1
Green chilli  1
Salt and pepper

Let’s make;

  • Crush cooked prawns using a hand blender or a heavy spoon.  You can use your fingers and crush them easily

  • Mix onion, green chili, salt, and pepper with grated bread and prawns
  • Sprinkle a little warm water if the mixture is too dry
  • Make small balls
  • Beat egg whites with 3 tbsp of water. Dip the balls in the egg white, then wrap them with golden breadcrumbs
