Arancini with shrimp topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 0.2 kg. rice (Arborio)
- 1 bunch of green onions and parsley
- 50 g Mozzarella cheese
- 70 g of Dutch Lambert cheese
- 3 eggs
- 40 g of shrimp
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preparation:
- Boil rice in salted water until done.
- Defrost the shrimp and boil them in salted water until fully cooked.
- Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Remove the butter from the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature.
- To prepare the minced meat, combine the cooked rice, 2 eggs, grated cheese, and melted butter in a deep bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- Prepare the filling. Wash the green onions and parsley under running water and chop finely. Cut the mozzarella cheese into small squares. Drain the shrimp and place them on a plate.
- Forming the arancini: Take a small amount of the filling in your hand, top it with some herbs, a square of cheese, and a shrimp. Take a little more filling and cover it with the filling, forming a ball. Continue making balls until you run out of filling and filling. Arborio rice has a high starch content, so the balls will hold their shape well.
- To bread the balls, use flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
Place the breadcrumbs in one bowl, the flour in another, and in a third, break the egg and add 1 tablespoon of cold water, whisk with a fork.
- Dip each ball in flour, then in egg and then in breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the breadcrumbs in the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped herbs.
