500 gram of shrimps
½ cup of flour
1.5 cup of low fat milk
1 medium chopped red onion
3 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Salt and Black Pepper for Taste

1 cup of Breadcrumb

Instructions

Cooking the Shrimp
Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan.
Once it becomes hot, add the peeled shrimp. Stir till it turns pink which indicate it is already cooked
Remove the shrimp and transfer to the plate
Use the knife to chop into smaller pieces. Set aside
For Shrimp Mixtures
Add unsalted butter to the pan. Wait till it fully melted
Add chopped red onion. Stir to mix for few minutes
Add flour and milk. Gently stir to combine. If it is too rubbery, add more milk till you get a smooth texture
Add chopped cooked red shrimp. Stir to combine. Add Salt & Black Pepper for taste.
Transfer into the tray or plate. Store in the refrigerator for 1 hour to help bind shrimp mixture together.
Coating the Shrimp Balls
Remove the shrimp mixture, and prepare a separate bowl of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Use 1 tablespoon to grab a shrimp mixture and use your hand to make it into a ball shape
Coat the shrimp ball into the flour, followed by egg, and then the breadcrumbs.
Repeat the process since this is good for 16 to 18 pieces.
Deep frying the croquettes
Pour vegetable oil into the cooking pot.
Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp balls into the pot.
Let it fry for less than 5 minutes or till it turns golden brown.
Transfer into the plate with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Repeat the rest of the croquettes.
Serve with any dipping sauce you desire.
