Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Peel and de-vein the gray shrimp, then chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
2
In a medium pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked onion mixture, chopped shrimp, breadcrumbs, egg, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
4
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should end up with around 20-25 patties.
5
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few patties to the pan (do not overcrowd). Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
