Recipe Introduction


You can use vegetable or peanut oil to fry these tasty little fritters, but they won't taste like the real thing unless you use olive oil.


List of Ingredients




1/2 lb (225 g) tiny shrimp, peeled, or larger shrimp,
peeled and chopped
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 ml) water
2-3 scallions (spring onions), green and white parts,
finely chopped
2 Tbs (30 ml) finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Olive oil for deep frying

Recipe



Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl and whisk to combine thoroughly. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Add a little water if necessary to make the batter pourable.

Heat about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) oil in a skillet over high heat and drop the batter by tablespoonfuls (15 ml) to form round fritters. Fry until golden brown on both sides and drain on a wire rack. Serves 4 to 6.
