Photo: Aunt Trina's Shrimp Boulettes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, cut in chunks
- 1 medium Idaho potato, peeled and cut in chunks
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Directions
Using the grinder attachment on a mixer or in a food processor grind onion and potato together. Add shrimp and pulse all together.
In a bowl, combine the shrimp mixture with the chopped parsley, green onion and green pepper. Stir in the egg and flour to make a batter. Fold in shrimp to the mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Melt the shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the shortening is hot, drop the batter by tablespoonfuls into the pan. Saute 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

These did have potential, but may have been better if they had been deep-fried and better seasoned. I followed this recipe exactly, and the consistency of the boulettes was very wet. I actually cooked them over medium instead of medium high, and they started to burn but the inside was still not done. I agree with JYoung62, they needed breadcrumbs or something else to dry them out. They were very bland, and I added some old bay seasoning to them. I don't think I will be making these again.

These were rather disappointing. I put the shrimp in the blender as directed and their flavor was simply overwhelmed by the onion and potato. The texture of the inside was what I found least appealing, though. It was soft. I'm thinking the mixture needed to be dried out with some breadcrumbs or something (more like a salmon croquette. Maybe just chop the shrimp up and fold in. The directions were a bit confusing and just didn't do well.

The recipe says to put shrimp in blender than later says to fold shrimp in mixture. I thought they could use more shrimp but they were still very good and I would make them again.
