πŸ›’ Ingredients

πŸ”₯ Directions

πŸ›’ Ingredients (Serves 2)

- 9 oz (250g) peeled frozen shrimp
- 4–5 sheets roasted seaweed (gimbap nori or sushi nori)
- 2 tbsp finely diced carrots
- 2 tbsp corn kernels
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1Β½ tbsp potato starch or cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 to 3 tbsp Secret Ingredient
πŸ‘‰ This helps keep the shrimp mixture juicy and gives it that signature bouncy texture 😳
πŸ‘‰ It also helps the shrimp stick perfectly to the crispy seaweed ✨

πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ³ Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Shrimp 🍀
- Thaw the peeled frozen shrimp naturally in the fridge or cold water
- Pat them VERY dry with paper towels
πŸ‘‰ Removing excess moisture is key for getting crispy results πŸ’¦
- Roughly chop the shrimp with a knife
πŸ‘‰ Don’t over-process it β€” small chunks give the best bouncy texture 😳

2️⃣ Make the Shrimp Mixture πŸ₯£
- In a bowl, combine:
Shrimp + carrots + corn + green onions + starch + cooking wine + salt + pepper
- Add Secret Ingredient and mix until slightly sticky
πŸ‘‰ This keeps the shrimp juicy while helping the mixture hold together perfectly πŸͺ„

3️⃣ Assemble the Nori Bites πŸ–€
- Cut the seaweed sheets into bite-sized squares
- Spread the shrimp mixture generously on top
πŸ‘‰ Press down gently around the edges so the shrimp stays attached while cooking 😭
πŸ‘‰ Slightly thicker shrimp layers give the BEST texture πŸ’›

4️⃣ Pan Fry Until Crispy 🍳
- Lightly oil a nonstick pan and heat over medium-low
- Place the seaweed side down first
- Cook until crispy, then flip and cook the shrimp side until golden
πŸ‘‰ Low heat helps the shrimp stay juicy inside 🍀
πŸ‘‰ Gently pressing while cooking makes the seaweed extra crispy 😳

πŸ“Œ Cooking tips

βœ” Dry the shrimp REALLY well before chopping πŸ’¦
βœ” Don’t mince the shrimp too finely 🍀
βœ” Press the shrimp firmly onto the seaweed πŸ–€
βœ” Always cook the seaweed side first for max crispiness 😳
βœ” Use medium-low heat so the shrimp stays juicy ✨
