Instructions
- Make the mango sauce: Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes; set aside and cool.
- Make the shrimp filling: Chill chopped shrimp until almost frozen. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well until they become almost pasty. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together until well incorporated. Chill for 30 minutes. Make sure the mixture is kept cold the entire time.
- To assemble, divide shrimp filling into 12 portions and shape them into balls. Insert a whole shrimp in the center of each ball, leaving the tail exposed. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then roll in almond slivers. Chill until firm.
- Before frying, reshape to form perfect balls. Deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the mango sauce.
