Critical Success Points

  • Achieve the right dough consistency (neither too dry nor too sticky).
  • Form uniformly sized balls for even cooking.
  • Cook the dombrés directly in the stew without them sticking to the bottom.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot oil splatters while sautéing.
  • Handle boiling liquids with care to avoid burns.
  • If the shrimp are not already cooked, cook them fully before adding.
