Step 1
Peel and chop the 2 medium potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
Step 2
Chop the 1 lb shrimp into small pieces. Mix into the mashed potatoes with 1 tsp salt and the zest of the 1 lemon.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into 8 oval croquettes. Dip each in the 1 beaten egg, then coat with the 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat the 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pan.
Step 5
Mix the 1/2 cup mayonnaise with the juice of the 1 lemon to make a quick sauce. Serve the croquettes hot with the sauce and fries on the side.
Step 6
Garnish with a lemon wedge and fresh herbs if you like.
