Shrimp croquettes are a Belgian classic: tiny grey North Sea shrimp in a thick, creamy filling, breaded and deep fried. They come two to a plate with fried parsley and a wedge of lemon.
Two are 330 kcal, with 12 g of protein, 24 g of carbs and 21 g of fat. Most of that is the butter in the filling and the oil from the fryer.
As a starter they are fair. With chips and a beer on the side they turn into a whole meal.
