Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and carefully add the raw shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, then drain, cool, and chop them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cooked mashed potatoes, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- Take portions of the mixture and gently shape them into 1-2 inch balls or patties. Place each croquette on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Beat a large egg in a small bowl. In another dish, place extra breadcrumbs for coating. Dip each croquette in the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until around 350°F (175°C). Fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the fried croquettes to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with dipping sauce.

Notes
For best results, chill the croquettes before frying and use an oil with a high smoke point to avoid burning.
