Ingredients needed 2 servings

Shrimp meatball mixture (minced shrimp) - appropriate amount
4 slices of bread
3 cloves of garlic
Cooking oil - generous amount

Recipe

Trim the crusts off the bread slices and microwave for 10 seconds to make the bread soft and sticky.
Spread a generous amount of shrimp meatball mixture on one side of the softened bread, cover with another slice, and press down firmly with a small bowl or similar object to seal.
Slice the garlic thinly into pieces.
Pour a generous amount of oil into a pan, add the garlic, and stir-fry until the oil is infused with garlic aroma and the garlic turns golden brown, then lower the heat.
Place the prepared bread-shrimp sandwich in the pan, press down firmly with a press or spatula, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Microwave the bread briefly, then place the shrimp meatball mixture between two slices, pressing firmly to form a sandwich.
Heat oil in a pan and stir-fry sliced garlic to make garlic oil.
Add the bread sandwich, press down firmly with a spatula, and cook until golden brown and cooked through.

Cooking tips

Microwaving the bread briefly softens its texture, helping the meatball mixture adhere well without falling apart, resulting in a chewy consistency.
Since the raw shrimp inside needs to cook, using high heat will burn the bread. Be sure to cook over medium-low heat, pressing gently while cooking.
