Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot.
  2. Add the unpeeled shrimp and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they turn pink.
  3. Drain the shrimp well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. Chill the shrimp, then peel, devein, and chop them finely.
  5. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
  6. Add all-purpose flour and stir until smooth to form a roux.
  7. Cook the roux for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  8. Gradually whisk in the milk.
  9. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
  10. Stir in chopped green onions, lemon juice, Beau Monde seasoning, salt, pepper, paprika, and hot sauce.
  11. In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lightly beaten egg, half of the Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, and the sauce mixture.
  12. Mix well and shape the mixture into 4 equal patties.
  13. Dredge the patties in the remaining breadcrumbs, coating them evenly.
  14. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat over medium-high heat.
  15. Fry the patties in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, turning once.
  16. Remove patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Note

Beau Monde seasoning is a classic all-purpose seasoning blend. If unavailable, substitute with a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of sage.

For best results, ensure the shrimp are thoroughly drained and chopped finely to help the patties hold their shape.

These patties are best served immediately while crisp. If reheating, use an oven or air fryer to maintain texture, as microwaving may make them soggy.

You can use any type of fresh shrimp, but blue shrimp are preferred for their sweet flavor and firm texture.
