Estimated servings: 15 large fritters

Mix the batter

1 ½ cups all- purpose flour

1 cup self-rising flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon turmeric 

1 teaspoon salt 

2 ½ cups water

1. In a bowl add the batter ingredients mixing it with a whisk until smooth with no lumps.

2. Allow batter to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Fry the fritters

15 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail on

½ teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon pepper 

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 Japanese sweet potato

1 yam

4 cups vegetable oil 

1. Peel and shred potato and yam.

2. Add 1 teaspoon salt into 2 quarts water and mix the sweet potato in the salt water. Soak the potato in the salty water for about 30 minutes. Then drain, rinse, and set sweet potato shreds aside.

3. Add salt, pepper and garlic to shrimp, mix it up, cover with saran wrap and marinate it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. 

4. Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Oil will be ready for frying when you place a wooden utensil in the middle of the pot and you see bubbles in the oil. Add a handful of yam shreds into the batter then arrange it neatly into a round mold, top it off with a shrimp pressing it down and remove the mold. Fry the fritters on medium high heat until golden brown on both sides (about 12-15 minutes) with shrimp fully cooked. Repeat process until ingredients are used up. Remove the fritters and place on a rack to drain excess oil.
