Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined shopping list
- 4 green onions, finely chopped (include tops) shopping list
- 1 bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped shopping list
- 1 small hot or mild chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped shopping list
- 2 cups mashed potatoes shopping list
- 2 eggs, beaten shopping list
- salt and pepper, to taste shopping list
- 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs shopping list
- vegetable oil, for deep frying shopping list
How to make it
- Melt butter in skillet over medium heat; add the shrimp and cook until pink (2 to 3 minutes depending on size). Remove shrimp from skillet with a slotted spoon, cool slightly, then chop. Set aside.
- Add the green onions, bell pepper and chile pepper to the butter remaining in the skillet. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are just softened, about 3 minutes. Add mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix well. Stir in the chopped shrimp and beaten eggs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir in some of the bread crumbs, if needed to make the dough stiff enough to form into balls. Shape mixture into 2-inch balls.
- Put the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Roll the shrimp/potato balls in the crumbs.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to about 360 degrees. Fry the balls 3 or 4 at a time for about 4 minutes, or until browned and crispy on the outside.
- Remove balls to paper towels; drain and serve immediately.
- Makes about 2 dozen small fritters.
