Monday’s Bread Bowl: Shrimp Pops

Small and yummy shrimp croquettes

We like this recipe since the cooking method doesn’t call for deep frying.  Here’s the recipe:

What you will need:

1 baby pops cake maker
1 metal spoon
1 pair chopsticks
1 large mixing bowl
Non-stick cooking spray
1lb shrimp, deveined, and mashed
1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 (12 oz.) package mixed vegetables, thawed and drained
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 whole egg, beaten
1 red bell pepper, chopped small
1 yellow onion, chopped small
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking and Directions:


Combine shrimp, mixed vegetables, pepper, onion and garlic in large mixing bowl.  Toss well.  Next, gradually add flour and milk until a wet batter forms to hold loose ingredients.   Add egg, pepper, salt, and baking powder.  Mix again.  Preheat baby cake pop maker.  Coat griddle section with cooking spray.  Now, spoon in enough batter into each mold then close down lid.  Let each batch cook for 10 minutes on each side.  Be careful to flip each piece with chopsticks at the half-way point of total cooking time of 20 minutes.  Place cooked shrimp poppers on paper towel on a serving dish.
