Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

Frozen shrimp, as needed
1 can Spam
1 cheongyang chili pepper
1 red chili pepper
Starch powder, as needed
Flour, as needed
1-2 eggs
Seasoned salt, a pinch
Pepper, a pinch
Cooking oil, enough for pan-frying

Recipe 🍳

Thaw the frozen shrimp, pat dry, then mash with the back of a knife and finely chop.
Mix the chopped shrimp with minced cheongyang chili, red chili, starch powder, seasoned salt, and pepper; knead well to form the shrimp paste.
Slice the Spam into uniform thickness.
Place a generous amount of shrimp paste between two slices of Spam and gently press together.
Lightly and evenly coat the outer surface of the Spam sandwich with flour.
Dip the floured Spam sandwich into beaten egg to coat the exterior.
Heat a pan with enough oil over medium-low heat, then pan-fry until the shrimp is fully cooked and the Spam surface turns golden brown on both sides.

Mix chopped shrimp with chili, seasoning, and starch to make the paste.
Fill the Spam slices with the shrimp paste to make a sandwich.
Coat with flour and egg wash, then pan-fry in oil until golden on both sides.

Cooking tips 💡

Since Spam is already salty, reduce the amount of seasoned salt in the shrimp paste to lightly season it.
To prevent the Spam and shrimp from separating while frying, make sure to coat the sides with flour thoroughly.
Serve with rice or with ketchup, mustard, or other tangy sauces to balance the saltiness.
