Deep-Fried Shrimp Alfredo Burrito (Print Version)
Crunchy tortillas with creamy Alfredo, hot shrimp, and loads of melted cheese—absolutely shareable golden bites.
# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
1 cup Alfredo sauce
02 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as much as you like
03 -
1 pound uncooked shrimp, take shells and veins off
→ Assembly
04 -
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
05 -
4 large flour tortillas
→ Coating and Frying
06 -
Vegetable oil for frying
07 -
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
08 -
2 big eggs, beaten
# Instructions:
01 -
Dump the Alfredo sauce, shrimp, pepper, and a sprinkle of salt in a big bowl. Let those ingredients hang out together for a few minutes.
02 -
Grab a tortilla and spread out on your work surface. Add some of your shrimp mix right in the middle.
03 -
Top the shrimp filling with mozzarella all over so every bite gets some cheese.
04 -
Pull the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up good and tight so nothing falls out.
05 -
First roll each tortilla bundle in the beaten eggs, then cover with breadcrumbs until coated everywhere.
06 -
Fill your deep pan with about 2 inches of oil. Put it over medium heat and let it warm up.
07 -
When the oil is up to 350°F, gently drop in your burrito bites. Let them fry for about 3–4 minutes, flipping now and then so they get golden all over.
08 -
Take your crispy burrito bites out and set them on paper towels so extra oil comes off. Eat them warm, and dunk in Alfredo sauce if you want.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't crowd your pan when frying, or they'll get soggy. Cook a few at a time for best crunch.
