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.
