Recipe Summary Deep-Fried Prawn And Rice Croquettes

I started making these when I was a student. I love the combination of prawns, rice, and creamy white sauce.

Ingredients | Deep Fried Tiger Prawns

2 tablespoons butter

½ onion, finely chopped

4 ounces peeled shrimp, chopped

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon white wine

½ cup milk

2 tablespoons milk

2 cups cooked rice

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, or more to taste

1 teaspoon salt

ground black pepper

vegetable oil for frying

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

1 egg

½ cup bread crumbs

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.

If there doesn't seem to be enough white sauce to evenly coat the rice in step 2, you can gradually stir in a little bit more milk until it seems to be enough.

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
