Ingredients

  • 250g shrimp, shelled and deveined (defrosted frozen shrimps are perfect for this)
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 0.5-1 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty your shrimps are. Frozen ones tend to have more salt content, at least where I hail from)
  • dash of pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 spring onions, white parts only, chopped (or a small shallot)
  • extra water and/or flour
  • 2 ficelles (a ficelle is a narrow baguette. Get a baguette if you can’t get one; or get some other sliced bread and cut it into small enough pieces)
