Cooking time : 10 Min
Level of difficulty : Low
Ingredients
2 servings
- For the balls:
- 100 gr shrimp, cut in 2 or 3 pieces
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 egg, lightly beaten, with 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- For frying:
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil
Preparation
- Melt the butter in a pot and add in the flour and stir. Pour in the milk slowly and stir constantly. The milk and flour should be blended very well (It is possible to use an egg beater if necessary). Finally add in the cheese, shrimp, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes.
- Put the mixture in a bowl and let it cool in the fridge. Sprinkle some flour on the counter. Put the mixture on it, and separate it into ball shapes. For each piece, first egg wash, then roll in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat up the sunflower oil and fry the pieces until they're a light golden colour. Soak the extra oil with a paper towel. Serve while still hot.
