Lovely Shrimp Croquettes ( Japanese shrimp koroke)

First japanese food that I have learned from my dad in law. My husband and I love to eat koroke (croquette), so..one day when we were in Atlanta,to visit my husband's parents and family..my dad in law called me and told me to come to the kitchen with him to make some japanese dishes. And one of them was croquette. He taught me how to make ground beef croquette.
Then..day by day I started to learn the other japanese dishes from my dad in law. He was my first teacher actually who taught me some Japanese foods. I remember too, when we just have first baby, my dad and mom in law came to visit us to Japan from US, and during their visit days, he was the one who cooked breakfast,lunch and dinner for us. I was soo embarassed , because i tought they were guests in our house,so ,I'm suppoused to serve them. But he told me,in Japan there's a culture that sometimes, parents or in law stay with their children who just have a new born baby to help them at least for a week such as cooking or cleaning the house. Hmm..I'm  so glad I have them as my In law.
Okay,..so here's the recipe fro shrimp croquette, you change the shrimp with ground beef or chicken as you like to have them in your croquette.Enjoy!!
