Fluffy fritters filled with vegetables and seafood, covered in a crispy crust, are always a welcome beer appetizer or a hearty snack. Mix the dough with finely chopped shrimp, zucchini, green onions, and hot jalapeño peppers and fry the fritters in a deep fryer or a saucepan with plenty of oil. After draining the excess fat, serve the fritters with a dipping sauce made with mayonnaise, pickled gherkins, mustard, and herbs. Dip and savor their flavor.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Gherkin sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, gherkins, Dijon mustard, mustard powder, tarragon, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
• Shrimp fritters: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat about 4 cm of vegetable oil until it registers 175°C on a deep-fry thermometer.
Step 3
• In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until medium peaks form. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp, onion, zucchini, garlic, and jalapeño.
Step 4
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and paprika. Stir in the egg yolks and enough sour milk to form a fairly thick batter (adjust the amount of sour milk). Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the shrimp mixture, then the egg whites.
Step 5
• Drop batter into the oil with a tablespoon, 1 tablespoon per fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt. Serve with gherkin sauce.
