Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped finely
- 150 grams Lump crab meat
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk until well combined.
Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Fold the chopped shrimp and lump crab meat into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Mix in the minced garlic, green onions, and fresh parsley to enhance flavor and aroma.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the seafood fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, aioli, or a spicy remoulade.
