Directions Deep-Fried Prawn and Rice Croquettes
Directions
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cook and stir until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp, cook and stir until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour and white wine. Pour in milk gradually, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook until white sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove white sauce from heat. Stir in rice until evenly mixed. Add Parmesan cheese, dill, salt, and black pepper. Cool until mixture is easily handled, about 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place 3 tablespoons flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a small bowl. Spread bread crumbs on a plate.
Form rice mixture into 8 equal balls. Roll 1 ball in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining balls.
Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
