Our frozen shrimp balls are crafted with 100% grade-A fresh shrimp (including high-quality freshwater and marine shrimp varieties) as the core ingredient, bringing the natural sweetness of fresh shrimp to your table. We strictly guarantee a shrimp meat content of ≥80% (excluding ice glaze)—no excessive starches or cheap fillers, so you can taste real, tender shrimp in every chew.
We stick to a clean, natural recipe: no artificial preservatives, synthetic colors, or chemical flavor enhancers. The seasonings are kept simple and premium—only sea salt, white pepper, and a touch of fresh ginger powder—to highlight the shrimp’s original umami without overpowering it. Each shrimp ball is carefully mixed and shaped to achieve a perfect texture: springy and juicy when boiled, crisp on the outside and tender inside when pan-fried or grilled.
1. Raw Material Details
- Shrimp Source: Sourced from certified farms (both freshwater and marine) that follow strict breeding standards. We select plump, fresh shrimp—including popular varieties like whiteleg shrimp, kuruma shrimp, and high-quality freshwater shrimp (e.g., river shrimp). All shrimp are caught/harvested and processed within 6 hours to lock in freshness, with strict testing for freshness (total volatile basic nitrogen ≤15mg/100g) and safety (no heavy metals or antibiotics).
- Binders & Texture Boosters: Only food-grade modified tapioca starch (≤7%) and fresh egg white (≤6%) are added to improve shape stability and chewiness. We never use harmful additives like excessive sodium tripolyphosphate, complying with international food safety standards (FDA, EU No. 1333/2008).
- Ice Glaze: A thin layer of food-grade ice glaze (≤5% of total product weight) is applied during freezing. This protects the shrimp balls from freezer burn, maintains moisture, and ensures they stay fresh during storage and transportation.

3. Production & Storage Standards
- Production Process: Fully automated, temperature-controlled production line. Shrimp undergo 3-stage ultrasonic cleaning, then are minced (8mm mesh sieve to keep small shrimp chunks for texture), mixed at 0-4℃ (to prevent bacterial growth), shaped with precision molds, and quick-frozen via IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology—frozen to -18℃ within 15 minutes to preserve nutrients and fresh shrimp taste.
- Storage Requirements: Store at -18℃ or below; shelf life is 12 months under proper storage. Once thawed, do not refreeze—cook and consume within 24 hours for the best flavor.
- Quality Certifications: All products meet HACCP and ISO 22000 food safety management system standards. Each batch is accompanied by a quality inspection report, including microbiological testing (total bacterial count ≤10,000 CFU/g, no coliforms or pathogenic bacteria) and heavy metal testing (lead ≤0.1mg/kg, arsenic ≤0.05mg/kg).
4. Versatile Applications
Ideal for both retail channels (supermarkets, online e-commerce platforms) and foodservice businesses (hot pot restaurants, seafood cafes, cafeterias). It’s incredibly easy to cook—just thaw (if frozen) and cook for 3-5 minutes (boil until floating, pan-fry until golden, or stir-fry with veggies). Perfect for hot pot, shrimp soups, noodle bowls, stir-fries, grilled skewers, or even as a quick kids’ snack.
