Savory Shrimp & Corn Fritters ingredients

• 0.5 lb shrimp
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 0.25 cup green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup cabbage
• 1 large egg

• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

How to make Savory Shrimp & Corn Fritters

1. Prepare your ingredients: finely mince 1/2 pound of shrimp, finely dice 1/4 cup of green bell pepper and 1/2 cup of cabbage, and chop 2 tablespoons of scallions.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil until well combined.
3. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
4. Gently fold in the minced shrimp, 1 cup of corn kernels, diced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and chopped scallions into the batter. Mix just enough to distribute the ingredients evenly.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a drop of batter is added.
6. Drop tablespoonfuls of the fritter batter into the hot oil, leaving some space between each fritter. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of your spoon to ensure even cooking.
7. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, and the shrimp is opaque. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
8. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the savory shrimp and corn fritters immediately while hot, perhaps with a light soy-ginger dipping sauce if desired.
