Prawn Croquettes

Directions

• Heat a medium saucepan on a medium-low heat.
• Melt the butter in the pan, then sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk.
• Allow the flour to cook in the butter for a couple of minutes.
• Slowly drizzle in the lukewarm milk, little by little, stirring the whole time, until you get a thick, smooth sauce. The sauce will thicken as it begins to heat.
• Add the chopped prawn, nutmeg, and season salt and pepper, to taste.
• Combine the mixture, and cool it completely.
• When the mixture has cooled, form croquettes by taking a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and rolling it in your hands, like you would if you were making a meatball.
• Roll the croquet in the flour, then coat it in the beaten egg, and finally, through the Panko crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a large pan.
• Fry the croquettes in batches, for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on a paper towel, and serve hot.
