Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Peel and de-vein the shrimp, then chop them into small pieces. Heat the butter in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
2
Add the chopped shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and fully cooked. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp mixture, breadcrumbs, eggs, and flour. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
4
Shape the mixture into small croquettes, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Dip each croquette in the beaten eggs and then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
5
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
6
Drain the croquettes on paper towels and serve warm with a side of tartar sauce for dipping.
