large bowl, beat the shrimp
paste vigorously with
a wooden spoon, until combined well.
4. Wet your hands with water and form tablespoons of shrimp
mixture into balls,
then roll in the bread cubes,
pressing lightly to stick the bread cubes. (Make sure
that the shrimp balls are completely covered with the bread cubes.)

3 minutes, or until golden and
just cooked through. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.)

slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. 7. When all shrimp balls are fried,
reheat in a shallow baking pan in a hot oven,
until just
hot, about 3 minutes.
