I served these with cocktail sauce for dipping. Prep time includes standing time. Nigella's instructions are pretty simply written, but you will need to heat the oil, of course. Read more . :) . Ingredients:
1/2 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, minced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 scallions, white and green parts, minced (i used 3) |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/2 cup all purpose flour |
4 tsp. sherry |
olive oil for frying (i used a canola/vegetable blend) |
Directions:
1. Process or blend the shrimp with the garlic, scallions, salt, flour, sherry and enough water to make a thick batter (I would say I used 4 to 5 tablespoons). Let stand, covered with plastic film, for 1 hour. Then fry, in drops of 1 heaping teaspoon, into the oil poured to a depth of 2 in a pan, for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. (I did heaping tablespoons for about three minutes each side).
