Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup ketchup
1½ teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ cup water
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more if you like it spicy
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
1 pound raw shrimp, at least 25-30 per pound in size
¼ cup celery, minced fine
½ cup carrots, shredded
1 cup canned kernel corn, drained
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
1 whole egg
¾ cup canned evaporated milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8th teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon celery salt
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

For the pepper sauce, mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Fill a deep heavy pot with about six inches of the oil. A Dutch Oven works great for this. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F and hold at that temperature.
Peel, devein and coarsely chop the shrimp but leave some bigger pieces.
In a medium to large bowl place chopped shrimp, celery, carrots, corn, peas, egg and milk. Mix to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl mix flour, cayenne, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper and baking powder.
Stir to combine then stir into the wet mixture.
Once the oil is hot, using a one ounce ice cream scoop (#40 scoop), scoop about 12 fritters into the hot oil making sure you give them a nudge with a strainer or tongs so they float and don't stick to the bottom.
Fry for five minutes, tipping them with the strainer or tongs so they flip and cook on both sides.
After five minutes, remove one and check center. If done, remove all to a platter lined with paper towels.
Once oil is back to temperature, cook remaining fritters. Our batch made 26 fritters.
Serve hot with the Peppery Vinegar Sauce.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 (10 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt
1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2-2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2-2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning
2 lbs medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped in chunks
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables, completely thawed, and drained
4 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying

Steps:

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the evaporated milk.
Add the flour, baking powder, and the seasonings. Mix until smooth.
Add the shrimp and mixed vegetables, combining well.
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet to medium heat.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls and fry until golden brown.
I usually fry 1 or 2 patties and taste them to make sure seasoning is just right. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Using a bamboo skewer, pierce the center of patty to make sure that skewer comes out clean. A little bit of dough will be on the skewer but as long as it's not runny and still wet looking, it should be done.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve at room temperature.

SHRIMP PATTY SANDWICHES

Quite often when we eat at a restaurant, my husband will try something and tell me that I could make it better at home. That was the case with this shrimp patty. It had very few shrimp and needed more flavor. I made some improvements and now it's one my husband's favorites. - Tina Jacobs, Hurlock, Maryland

Tips:

For a crispier patty, make sure the shrimp is very finely chopped.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the shrimp by hand using a sharp knife.
Be careful not to overmix the shrimp mixture, as this will make the patties tough.
Be sure to chill the shrimp mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking, as this will help the patties hold their shape.
When cooking the patties, be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Serve the shrimp patties immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce.
