Add the rest of the ingredients, except the flour and oil. Pulse until well mixed, scraping the sides down a few times to make sure everything is incorporated.

Remove from fryer and drain on absorbent paper towels.***This dish can be served as an appetizer or as a meal, and with or without a seafood dip. This recipe yields approximately 12 balls.
