Spicy Baked Shrimp Balls

• 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 3 Thai chili peppers, seeded and chopped
• Juice of one lime
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 2 green onions, chopped (green parts only)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Cooking spray
• Sweet chili sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
2. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat and saute garlic, shallots, and peppers until translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer veggies to a bowl to cool.
3. Meanwhile, add to the shrimp the egg whites, bread crumbs, green onion, cilantro, salt, chili peppers, and lime juice. When veggies have cooled, add to the mixture and combine all ingredients well.
4. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Working in batches, form 1-inch balls with the shrimp mixture and place in rows on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Spray tops of the shrimp balls with cooking spray before putting in the oven. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Set oven to broil and brown the tops of the shrimp balls. Remove from oven and serve with a side of sweet chili dipping sauce.
5. Note: Can be made ahead a day in advance. Refrigerate overnight.
