Method :
Lightly
process half of the shrimp in a food processor, or pound with a mortar
and pestle. Cut the remaining shrimp in half lengthwise. Beat the egg
with the water and fish sauce. Place the flour in a mixing bowl, and
gradually beat in the egg water mixture. Season with salt and pepper and
thoroughly stir in the processed shrimp paste. If the mixture is very
thick, add more water a little at a time.
The
batter should have the consistency of thick yogurt. Fold in the
remaining sliced shrimp, the shallots, and the minced chili. Heat the
oil in a large skillet or an electric fry pan, and pour in about 2 tbsp
of batter at at time. Fry until golden, turn and fry the other side. Do
not crowd pan. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve as a dish side.
