how to make Deep-Fried Shrimp Alfredo Burrito

Ingredients:

1 cup Alfredo sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as much as you like
1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
4 large flour tortillas
Vegetable oil for frying
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 big eggs, beaten

Directions:

Dump the Alfredo sauce, shrimp, pepper, and a sprinkle of salt into a large bowl. Let those ingredients sit together for a few minutes.
Grab a tortilla and spread it out on your work surface. Add some of your shrimp mix right in the middle.
Top the shrimp filling with mozzarella so every bite gets some cheese.
Pull the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tight to keep everything inside.
First, roll each tortilla bundle in the beaten eggs, then cover with breadcrumbs until they are fully coated.
Fill your deep pan with about 2 inches of oil and put it over medium heat to warm up.
When the oil reaches 350°F, gently drop in your burrito bites. Let them fry for about 3–4 minutes, flipping them now and then to get golden all over.
Take your crispy burrito bites out and set them on paper towels to remove extra oil. Serve them warm, and dunk in more Alfredo sauce if you want!
