INGREDIENTS
6 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
100 g cassava, peeled and boiled
1 large egg white
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
Olive oil spray
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Boil or steam the peeled cassava until tender. Once cooked, peel off the fibrous layer if needed and mash it in a bowl until smooth.
Coarsely chop the shrimp and gently fold into the mashed cassava along with the egg white, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small, croquette shapes or patties.
Place the croquettes on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the croquettes are golden and crispy on the outside.
Serve warm, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a light dipping sauce of your choice.
