Shrimp Fritters

As i have mentioned so many times that my grand daughter, Renee, is such a picky eater but she ate this at a friend's house, which nearly made me fall off the chair. Although this is not very healthy as they are fried, she likes it and that's what counts.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb shrimp (size of your choice - here i used 61/70 peeled raw shrimp)

2 tsp salt

2 tsp tapioca starch

Seasoning:

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp white pepper(optional)

1/2 egg white

1/2 tsp sesame oil

All purpose flour for dusting

Batter

1/2 cup self-raising flour

1/4 cup corn flour

1 tbsp rice flour

Pinch of salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

180ml water or just enough

1½ tbsp oil

Oil for deep frying

Method:

Marinate the shrimp with 2 tsp salt and 2 tsp tapioca starch. Knead it in and leave aside for at least 1/2 hour.

Mix all the ingredients for the batter and leave aside until shrimps are ready

Wash away the salt and tapioca well and keep the shrimp under cold running water until water is clear. Drain and wipe the shrimp until really really dry.

Add in seasonings and dust with all purpose flour. Shake away access flour.

Heat oil until 350 f. Dip floured shrimp into batter and fry until golden brown. Do not crowd, fry shrimps in batches.

Remove from oil and let fried shrimps drain on a lined cake rack.

Serve warm with Sauces of your choice - Renee is with tomato ketchup.
