Method

Croquettes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Chop the raw shrimp into small pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Croquettes

    With your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp croquettes to the skillet in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
