Shrimp And Corn Croquettes
- 7 tablespoons butter chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 7 ounces cooked shrimp medium, peeled and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley coarsely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs soft
- vegetable oil to deep-fry
- lemon wedges to serve
- Melt butter in a saucepan over moderate heat. Add 1/2 cup of the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until bubbling. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth. Cook, whisking, for 3 minutes or until sauce boils and thickens. Remove pan from heat. Stir in green onions, shrimp, corn and parsley. Season. Cover and chill for 3 hours or until cold.
- Shape tablespoon measures of the shrimp mixture into ovals. Whisk eggs and 2 tbsp milk in a shallow bowl. Place remaining flour and the breadcrumbs in 2 separate shallow bowls. Dip each croquette into flour to coat, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry croquettes, in batches, for 3 minutes or until golden and heated. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.
