Shrimp Croquettes

Preparation:

Preparation: For the purée, use 3 potatoes, 1 knob of butter, salt and milk. Defrost the prawns at room temperature, wash and dry them well. Put the purée (prepared in good time so that it is cold by now) in a bowl and add a whole egg, a pinch of nutmeg and two tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Mix well. Now take a small amount of puree in the hollow of your hand, put a prawn in the middle and work everything to form a croquette: roll it first in the remaining beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and then in the breadcrumbs. Prepare all the croquettes in the same way. Place a large container for fried food with plenty of oil on the fire, let it smoke and arrange a few croquettes at a time, leaving them to brown well on all sides. Remove them from the oil, place them on absorbent kitchen paper and keep them warm as they are ready.
