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.

Step: 1

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.

Step: 2

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.

Step: 3

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 4

Place 3 tablespoons flour in a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a small bowl. Spread bread crumbs on a plate.

Step: 5

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.

Step: 6

Deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
