Crevette grise croquettes

Belgium · Europe

Short description: These crisp croquettes hide a creamy seafood filling under a golden breadcrumb crust.
Ingredients: Small gray shrimp, shrimp bisque, butter, flour, milk or cream, gelatin, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon, salt, and pepper.
Cultural note: They are associated with brasserie starters and seaside menus, often served with lemon and fried parsley.
Common misconception: The filling is not just plain mashed seafood; a concentrated shellfish sauce gives it depth.
