Add in corn flour, salt and pepper and pulse two or three quick pulses until blended.
4
Have your beaten eggs ready in a wide mouthed bowl (large enough to dunk the cutlets).
5
In separate wide-mouthed bowl, combine your breadcrumbs and Cream of Wheat.
6
Make an assembly station on your counter/work space and line up the bowls: first the shrimp mixture, second the beaten egg and third the breadcrumb/Cream of Wheat mix.
7
At the end, place a parchment-paper lined baking sheet to rest your cutlets on while you wait to fry them.

9
The cutlets should be roughly 2-3 inches in length and 1/2 inch wide .
10
Dip the cutlet into egg wash, then into your breadcrumb mixture.
11
Set the assembled cutlets on your baking sheet and let rest for at least 5 minutes.

Fill a frying pan with enough oil to shallow fry.
13
Heat oil over medium heat.
14
Fry the cutlets over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, until they are golden brown.
15
Lay the fried cutlets onto a paper towel-lined dish, so as to drain any extra oil.
