Prawn And Ginger Fritters Recipes

ASIAN SHRIMP AND GINGER FRITTERS WITH SWEET CHILI DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Shrimp and Ginger Fritters: Place the breadcrumbs and coconut milk together in a bowl, and set aside.
• Place the shrimp meat, ginger, cilantro, egg and fish sauce into a food processor bowl, and pulse until the mixture is combined.
• It is important not to over-mix or otherwise it will turn into a paste!
• Add the breadcrumbs, which by now should have absorbed all the coconut milk, and pulse until just blended.
• Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, or to 350 degrees F (180 C) in a deep-fryer.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
• Do this in batches.
• As the fritters cook, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm in a low oven.
• Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until blended and sugar is dissolved.
• Serve in a small bowl (it yields 1 cup) to accompany the Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters.
