Ingredients

  

• 2 Cans Chicken Broth
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 Leek chopped and rinsed
• 4 Tbsp. Butter
• 4 Clove Garlic minced
• 2 teas. Salt
• 1 teas. Black Pepper
• 1 ½ Cups Rice uncooked, short grain works best
• but not required
• ½ Cup White Wine
• 1 Red Bell Pepper finely chopped
• 1 Green Bell Pepper finely chopped
• 2 teas. Creole Seasoning
• 5 Green Onions finely chopped
• 1 Can 4.25 oz. Tiny Shrimp, found near the
• canned tuna
• ¾ Cup Flour
• 4 Eggs beaten
• 2-4 Cups Panko Bread Crumbs
• Oil for frying

Instructions

 

• In a small sauce pan over medium low heat bring the Chicken broth to a simmer.
• In a large pan or Dutch oven over medium high heat sauté the Onion and Leek in 2 Tbsp. of Butter until
• soft and translucent, 8-10 minutes.
• Add the Garlic, 1 teas. Salt, ½ teas. Pepper and Rice and sauté an additional 2- 3 minutes.
• Add the wine and stir until all liquid is absorbed.
• Add ½ cup of hot Chicken broth to the rice and stir continuously until all liquid is absorbed, repeat a ½
• cup at a time until all the broth is added, basically making a risotto.
• Spread out on a baking sheet to allow it to cool rapidly, set aside.
• In the pan you just used over medium high heat sauté the peppers with the remaining 2 Tbsp. of Butter
• until soft, 4-6 minutes.
• Add the Creole seasoning and the can of Shrimp, do not drain, and cook until the shrimp is warmed
• through and most of the liquid has cooked off. Remove from heat.
• Add the rice back into the pan and stir to combine. Don’t worry if you don’t see the shrimp, they should
• basically disintegrate but add loads of flavor. Season to taste for Creole seasoning, Salt and Pepper.
• Take 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into a ball. It won’t really roll, just lightly toss them
• between your hands until ball shaped, gently place back on the pan you just used to cool the rice on.
• Place in the freezer at least 1 hour to overnight.
• Set up a dredging station, first is the Flour with 1 teas. Salt and ½ teas. Pepper. Second is the 4 Eggs.
• And last is the Panko Crumbs. Lightly dust with Flour, dip in egg until completely coated, coat with
• Panko.
• Deep fry at 350˚ until deep golden brown, 5-7 minutes keep a close eye on the temperature and adjust
• accordingly. Drain on paper towels or a paper grocery bag.
• Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200˚ oven for 30-45 minutes.
