Cut your kabocha and steam until soft.
Steam shrimp until opaque and cooked through (or cook with any other method until cooked through).
Mince the cooked shrimp.
Cut the carrot into thin rounds. Use a five-petaled-flower veggie cutter to punch out the shape from each carrot round. Cut the flower into sections that contain two petals each. Steam until soft.
In a bowl, combine the steamed kabocha flesh and shrimp.
Roll the kabocha-shrimp mixture into logs that are about the size and shape of a small ebi-fry.
Over medium heat, lightly oil a pan (or skip the oil if you'd like) and put in the panko. Toast until lightly golden, remove from heat, and place the panko in a flat bowl or plate.
Roll the kabocha-shrimp logs in the panko.
Put the ebi-fry onto a plate and press in the carrot tails on one end.
