Simple Shrimp Fritters Recipe
This is an unbelievably simple recipe for fritters. It's a very quick batter and they cook quickly to a delicious crispy outside and a fluffy inside. The sparkling water really helps with that fluffiness. You want to make sure that whatever you're adding to the batter doesn't have too much moisture, so if you're using shrimp make sure you give them a firm squeeze to get any excess moisture out. Shrimp + cheese may seem like a counterintuitive mix, but if you use a nice mild cheese like havarti or gouda, it just adds a bit of richness and the parts of the cheeses that hit the hot oil get golden and crispy. It works extremely well, and the slightly sharp bulbiness from the green onions really compliment it.
You can put whatever you want inside the fritters. Corn works, so would something like sauteed mushrooms or even some nicely browned bacon lardons. It's a versatile batter and is so easy.
