  • For the shrimp croquettes: In a bowl, mix shrimp, potato, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Using your hands, form balls with previous mixture. Stuff each ball with a cream cheese cube in the center and ball the croquettes.
  • Dip each croquette in flour and egg and coat with corn flakes.
  • In a small pot with hot oil, fry croquettes until golden brown and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  • For the Habanero sauce: On a griddle, char chiles, onion, and garlic. Transfer to a blender, add evaporated milk, cream cheese, and cilantro, and blend until smooth.
  • In a small pot, cook blended sauce for 10 minutes or until thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle Habanero sauce on a plate and place croquettes on top. Garnish shrimp croquettes in Habanero sauce with fresh cilantro leaves.
