Ingredients
  

  • 200 g shrimp paste store-bought or homemade
  • 30 g carrot peeled, finely diced, blanched 1 min, drained
  • 30 g corn kernels fresh or thawed from frozen, drained
  • 15 g scallions green part only, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 6 slices bacon preferably thick-cut
  • 12 slices cheese mozzarella or cheddar recommended
  • Parsley a little (optional garnish, can substitute scallions)
  • Chili powder a little (optional, to taste)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Seasoned Shrimp Paste

  • In a large bowl, combine 200g shrimp paste with carrot, corn, and scallions.
  • Season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.

Assemble the Rolls

  • Lay bacon slices flat on a board. Cut into 10–12 cm lengths if too long.
  • Place 2 cheese slices on each bacon slice, leaving a little edge space.
  • Shape about 30g shrimp paste into a small cylinder, place on one end of the bacon, and roll tightly to enclose. Repeat with all slices.

Cook the Rolls (Two Methods)

  • Method A: Oven-Baked (Recommended)
  • Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes.
  • Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes until bacon is crispy, shrimp cooked, and cheese melted.
  • Method B: Pan-Fried
  • Heat a nonstick pan over low heat (no oil needed, bacon will render fat).
  • Place rolls in pan, gently turning with tongs. Cook each side 3–4 minutes until golden brown and shrimp is cooked (12–15 minutes total). Cook in batches if needed.

Garnish & Serve

  • Remove from oven or pan, sprinkle with parsley and chili powder if desired.
  • Slice each roll into 2–3 pieces.
  • Serve hot and enjoy crispy bacon, tender shrimp, and melty cheese all in one bite!
