Instructions
Dough
- Bring water, milk, butter, oil and salt to a boil in a large sauce pan.
- Slowly add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough ball is formed.
- Remove the ball from the pan and loosely wrap dough in a dish cloth until it cools to room temperature.
Filling
- Boil the shrimp, leaving heads attached, until fully cooked.
- Remove the heads and then peel the shrimp, finely chop, and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat add oil, minced onions and 1/4 stick of butter and cook until transparent.
- Add milk to the onions and cook until scalded. Add minced parsley.
- Beat 2 eggs and slowly add them to skillet stirring constantly.
- Add 2 cups of the shrimp head broth and slowly add flour to thicken.
- Add chopped shrimp to mixture and slowly mix together.
Assembly
- Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Place a teaspoon of shrimp mixture slightly up from the bottom edge of the dough then flip the end of the dough up and over it.
- Using a round cutter 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter (or a drinking cup flipped upside down if you're fancy like me!) to cut a half circle out of the dough creating a shrimp turnover with shrimp mixture sealed inside.
- Continue until all the dough has been used. You can re-roll dough as needed.
Frying
- Dip turnovers in beaten eggs, then bread crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs.
- Heat oil in skillet to 350°F.
- Fry turnovers until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
