Asian Fusion Mock Shrimp

I’m sure many of you have had mock crab. Mock shrimp is actually quite similar but with a slightly chewier texture. As part of our kosher diet, we don’t eat shell fish but this is made out pollock and shaped like shrimp.  It looks like shrimp when cooked but that’s where the similarity ends. It tastes absolutely amazing when prepared properly. This  mock shrimp is prepared with various Asian condiments and one of my favorite herbs, cilantro. As my sister Naomi says, it’s pure deliciousness. I like to serve this as an appetizer.
