Recipe: Crispy Shrimp Fritters

Tantalise your taste buds with my recipe for the ideal appetiser, Crispy Shrimp Fritters.

These little bits of seafood goodness are light, fluffy and bursting with the tangy flavour of Worcestershire sauce.

Ingredients:



Method

•  Wash the shrimps thoroughly in a bowl of water and pat them dry using a towel.

•  Once dry, apply salt, pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce to each shrimp and set aside for an hour.

•  In a small bowl, whisk the egg until it becomes a liquid mixture.

•  Sprinkle flour over the marinated shrimps, dip them in the whisked egg and coat with bread crumbs. For complete coverage, press the shrimps well when applying the bread crumbs.

•  Allow the shrimps to cool for a couple of hours by placing them in the freezer.

•  Deep fry them on medium flame until they become golden brown in colour.

•  Strain all of the excess oil out before serving.

•  Pair the shrimps with roasted potatoes and a garlic dip. Your appetiser is now ready!
