Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Chop half of the shrimp finely. Pulse the other half in a food processor until minced.

- Use panko for a lighter, crispier texture.
