Polpette di gamberi are traditional Italian fritters that are usually made with a combination of shrimp, bread, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. The chopped mixture of ingredients is left to rest in the fridge, and it's then rolled in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and finally rolled in breadcrumbs in the shape of small balls.

The fritters are fried in oil and often turned during the process. Once golden-brown, the fritters are removed from the pan and served as an appetizer, usually with a lemon wedge on the side.
