After thoroughly cleaning the shrimp, gently chop them with a knife. (Be careful not to over-chop; you want to leave some texture.)

Add one tablespoon of mirin (sweet cooking rice wine) to the minced shrimp to remove any fishy smell.
3
Season with 0.5 tablespoons of minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
4
Add 2 tablespoons of flour for frying and mix until the batter comes together.
5
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the pieces until they are golden brown and cooked through.
