About the recipe
Rissóis de camarão are classic Portuguese party snacks, with thin dough and creamy filling.
The secret lies in a well-seasoned creamy filling and dough that seals securely and stays closed during frying.

- 300 g of cleaned shrimp
- 2 cups milk or shrimp broth
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 small onion
- Chopped parsley
- Cooked dough for rissóis
- Egg and breadcrumbs for breading
- Oil for frying
Method
- Prepare the filling by sautéing chopped onion and shrimp.
- Add flour and milk or broth, stirring until it thickens.
- Roll out the dough thinly and cut into discs.
- Stuff, close in a half-moon shape and press the edges.
- Dip in egg and breadcrumbs.
- Fry until golden.
Tips from Empório Portugal
- The filling must cool before assembling.
- Tightly closed edges prevent leakage.
