Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 180 milliliters Water (cold)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks Scallions (finely chopped)
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder.
Add the cold water and egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth to form a batter.
Fold in the chopped shrimp, minced garlic, and chopped scallions until evenly distributed.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the shrimp batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the fritters cool slightly, prepare the Romaine salad. Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to make a simple dressing.
Toss the chopped Romaine with the dressing until evenly coated.
Serve the shrimp fritters hot alongside the dressed Romaine salad. Enjoy!
