Description
Crispy, golden-fried burrito bites filled with creamy shrimp Alfredo and melty mozzarella, perfect for parties or a unique dinner twist.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas or 8–12 street-taco size
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (for coating)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Oil for frying
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Mix shrimp with Alfredo sauce, salt, and pepper; let marinate briefly.
- Lay tortillas flat, spoon in shrimp mixture, sprinkle mozzarella, fold sides, and roll tightly.
- Dip each burrito into beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to fully coat.
- Heat oil to approximately 350 °F (175 °C), fry burritos in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels, remove toothpicks if used, and serve hot with extra Alfredo sauce.
Notes
- Chill burritos before frying to help them hold shape.
- Seal edges with a toothpick or flour-water paste to prevent unraveling.
- Air-frying is a good lower-fat alternative.
- Use thawed and dried frozen shrimp to avoid sogginess.
- Fry or air-fry directly from frozen when made ahead.
