"Hydrangea-shaped" deep-fried shrimp cream croquettes, a specialty of Nagasaki Shippoku cuisine, use bread coating, but these are simple shrimp dumplings. A remodeled version of "hatoshi" (deep fried sandwiched shrimp paste)--a relative of Thai or Vietnamese shrimp toast. Treat your dad to these, since Father's Day falls in the midst of hydrangea blossom season.

If the bread doesn't stick well, coat the dumplings in egg whites before coating them in the bread cubes. For 20 dumplings (about 4 servings). Recipe by Asamato
