Put 1/2 cup of milk in the food processor to help the blades move freely.

Add 3 beaten eggs with a little salt.

Add 3 green onions and 3 cloves of garlic to the processor.

Add 1 tablespoon of lard to the mixture.

Add 1 kilogram of boiled cassava cut into small pieces for blending.

Add cumin and pepper to taste.

Chop the previously boiled shrimp in half, do not process them in the food processor.

Combine the processed mixture with the chopped shrimp in a Pyrex dish.

Spread the mixture out in the dish and integrate the chopped shrimp for texture.

Form small balls with the mixture using a spoon, optionally using cassava flour to help shape them.

Flatten the balls slightly and fry them in very hot oil until golden brown.

Remove the fried payaguá mascada and place them on paper to drain excess oil.
