Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces shrimp, cut in half
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg, lightly beaten, with
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup sunflower oil

Steps:

  • 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. You can 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. Decorate with a bed of green lettuce and serve while still hot.
