Instructions
Dough
- In a non-stick pan, pour the water and add margarine, lemon zest and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Pour the sifted flour all at once and stir continuously over low heat with a wooden spoon.
- When the dough forms a ball that comes off the sides of the pan, remove it from the heat and place it on a lightly floured work surface.
- Knead the dough while turning it briskly in all directions.
- Flatten it to about ⅛ inch (3mm) thick and set it aside.
Shrimp cream
- In a Dutch oven, melt the margarine over medium heat.
- Add the sifted flour and, on a low/medium heat, stir, adding a little cold water, to obtain a slightly compact cream.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir in the egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
- When the cream is set, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add the shrimp and mix well. Set aside.
Rissóis
- On the rolled dough, cut out circles (or any other form of your choice).
- Using a teaspoon, place a little stuffing in each circle (not too much, or they might burst during cooking).
- Close the dough on itself and press on the edges to seal.
Frying
- Heat a large bath of oil in a pan.
- Roll each rissól in the beaten eggs, then the breadcrumbs and deep-fry in hot oil.
- Turn them over during cooking. When golden brown, remove and place on paper towels.
