Shrimp Fritters

HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP FRITTERS

Step 1: Place the shrimp in a saucepan with water seasoned with salt, a bunch of coriander and a small onion. Bring to a boil over high heat. When starts boiling, reduce to medium-low heat and cook about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 2: Turn off the heat, drain shrimp with a skimmer and let cool slightly (reserve the cooking water). Peel the shrimp and cut into pieces.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, flour and the cooking water (about 100 ml (1/2 cup)). Then, add the chopped parsley, the shrimp cut into pieces, the remaining chopped onion, pepper and mix thoroughly until homogeneous (add more water if you find that the dough is too thicken or flour if you think that is too liquid).

Step 4: Heat the oil in a skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add small portions of the mixture in the skillet with a spoon. Fry on both sides until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Transfer the shrimp fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.

Step 6: Serve with lettuce salad.
