# Shell the shrimp, dry them well and marinate with salt for 3 – 5 minutes.
# Chop the shrimp into rice grain sized pieces.
# Finely chop the water chestnuts and mix them with the shrimp, egg, glutinous rice powder, rice wine and blend well.
# Heat the oil in a deep-fryer.
# Before it gets too hot, take a handful of the shrimp mixture and squeeze it through your fist between the thumb and forefinger to form a ball about the size of a walnut.
# Scoop it off with a wet spoon and dip it into the oil.
# You should be able to make about 20 balls.
# Fry for about 2 minutes.
# Stir to separate them and when they start to turn golden, scoop them out and drain.
