Fried Shrimp Mac and Cheese Bites

Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches in a Dutch oven and heat to 350°F. Spoon the macaroni and cheese into a medium bowl. Stir in 1 egg and 1 cup Panko. Add the shrimp. Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, scoop the mixture into 2-inch balls. Whisk the remaining eggs in a shallow dish. Place the remaining Panko in a separate shallow dish. Dip the mac and cheese balls in the egg and then in the Panko, rolling to coat completely. Fry the balls in batches, 2 to 3 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve with marinara sauce. Note: If using a thicker refrigerated baked macaroni and cheese, you won’t need to add the egg and the Panko to the mixture before rolling.
