Crab And Shrimp Croquettes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. cooked shrimp and crabmeat
2 c. mashed potatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 egg
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. lemon juice
flour
seasoned bread crumbs
fat (for deep frying)

Preparation

Mix together shrimp, crabmeat, potatoes, salt, pepper, egg, parsley and lemon juice.
This should be a fairly dry mixture that can be easily shaped into a croquette.
Refrigerate shaped croquettes at least an hour.
Roll croquette in flour, then in seasoned bread crumbs.
Heat fat to 375\u00b0 in deep kettle.
Put in a few croquettes so they will have room to brown evenly on all sides. Cook about 3 minutes each.
Garnish with parsley and lemon.
Makes 12 croquettes.
