Crispy Outside, Juicy Inside: Black Truffle Shrimp & Bacon Bombs

Ingredients

  • Shrimp paste (ready-made or homemade with chopped shrimp, egg white, and cornstarch)
  • Cheese cubes (mozzarella or cheddar work great)
  • Bacon slices
  • A touch of black truffle paste (optional, but highly recommended)
  • Scallions (finely chopped)
  • A little paprika or chili powder (for color & kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling – Mix shrimp paste with chopped scallions. If you like extra flavor, add a tiny bit of black truffle paste.
  2. Stuff with cheese – Take a spoonful of shrimp paste, flatten it, and wrap it around a cheese cube to form a ball.
  3. Wrap with bacon – Take a strip of bacon and carefully wrap it around the shrimp-cheese ball. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  4. Bake or pan-fry –
    • Oven method: Preheat to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 15–20 minutes until bacon is crispy.
    • Pan method: Cook on medium heat until bacon is golden and cheese starts to ooze.
  5. Garnish & serve – Sprinkle paprika or chili powder, and a touch of parsley for color. Serve hot and watch the cheese explode!
Tips
  1. For ultimate gooeyness, freeze the cheese cubes for 10 minutes before wrapping.
  2. Want smoky vibes? Brush the bacon with BBQ sauce before cooking.
  3. These pair perfectly with a cold drink—beer, soda, or even sparkling water.

Q&A: Black Truffle Shrimp & Bacon Bombs

Q: Can I make shrimp paste at home?

A: Mozzarella gives a stretchy, melty effect, while cheddar adds a sharper flavor. Both work perfectly!

A: It’s optional, but highly recommended. The truffle adds a rich, earthy depth that elevates the whole bite.
