3. In a bowl, mix chopped shrimp with salt, white pepper, and mint together, then take the mixture from the bowl, then throw it back to the bowl, repeat this beating motion for 3 or 4 more times until the mixture sticks together. Shape the shrimp mixture into a small patty, set aside.
4. Heat the oil to coat the bottom of the non-stick pan over medium-high heat, place the shrimp patty in the pan, fry until golden, 2- 3 mins each side. Serve with dipping sauce.
