Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound medium shrimp, shelled, deveined and finely chopped
1/2 cup milk
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
3 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds frozen green peas, thawed
3 cups peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the shrimp croquettes: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Use a wire whisk to stir in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the shrimp. Stir in the milk and cook until the mixture is very thick, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and some salt and pepper.
  • Allow the croquette mixture to cool completely before shaping into small meatball-sized balls. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Mix the beaten eggs with 2 tablespoons water. Double coat the croquettes by rolling them first in the crumbs, then in the egg mixture, and then in the crumbs again. Place each coated croquette on a baking sheet. Cover the croquettes and set them aside.
  • For the creamed green peas: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until smooth and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and continue cooking on medium heat, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture is smooth and thick, about 6 minutes. Stir in the peas, and keep warm while you fry the croquettes.
  • Heat the oil to about 375 degrees F in a deep, heavy pot. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F.
  • Add the croquettes to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain the croquettes on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm in the oven as you fry the remaining croquettes. Make sure the oil returns to 375 degrees F before cooking the next batch, or they will be heavy and greasy.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh green peas. Frozen peas can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before cooking.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
  • To make the sauce even more flavorful, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder.
  • Creamed green peas can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They are also a great addition to casseroles and soups.

Conclusion:

Creamed green peas are a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you are serving them as a side dish or as a main course, these creamy, flavorful peas are sure to be a hit.
