These golden shrimp fritters are a delightful twist on a classic recipe, offering a crispy exterior and a flavorful, tender interior.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk until well combined.
Ensure the eggs and milk are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoning blend to the bowl. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Sift the dry ingredients before adding to avoid lumps in the batter.
Fold in the shrimp and mixed vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pat the shrimp dry before adding to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the fritters and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Place the fritters on a wire rack over paper towels for better drainage.
Serve the fritters warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauce.
Pair with a tangy or spicy dipping sauce for an enhanced flavor experience.
