Directions

  1. Melt the butter and sauté the onion.
  2. When the onion becomes translucent, add the herbs, tomato sauce, spices, and shrimp. ≈ 3 min

  4. Return the pan to the heat and stir constantly until the dough separates from the sides and bottom of the saucepan. ≈ 4 min
  5. Pour une cuisson au four, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and let it cool while stirring, to prevent a crust from forming.

  7. Shape the patties, dip them in beaten eggs with a little water, then roll them in breadcrumbs. ≈ 10 min
  8. To freeze, arrange the croutons on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer, uncovered.
