CHAMORRO SHRIMP PATTIES
Steps:
- For the pepper sauce, mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Fill a deep heavy pot with about six inches of the oil. A Dutch Oven works great for this. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F and hold at that temperature.
- Peel, devein and coarsely chop the shrimp but leave some bigger pieces.
- In a medium to large bowl place chopped shrimp, celery, carrots, corn, peas, egg and milk. Mix to combine.
- In a separate smaller bowl mix flour, cayenne, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper and baking powder.
- Stir to combine then stir into the wet mixture.
- Once the oil is hot, using a one ounce ice cream scoop (#40 scoop), scoop about 12 fritters into the hot oil making sure you give them a nudge with a strainer or tongs so they float and don't stick to the bottom.
- Fry for five minutes, tipping them with the strainer or tongs so they flip and cook on both sides.
- After five minutes, remove one and check center. If done, remove all to a platter lined with paper towels.
- Once oil is back to temperature, cook remaining fritters. Our batch made 26 fritters.
- Serve hot with the Peppery Vinegar Sauce.
SHRIMP PATTY SANDWICHES
Quite often when we eat at a restaurant, my husband will try something and tell me that I could make it better at home. That was the case with this shrimp patty. It had very few shrimp and needed more flavor. I made some improvements and now it's one my husband's favorites. - Tina Jacobs, Hurlock, Maryland

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the evaporated milk.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and the seasonings. Mix until smooth.
- Add the shrimp and mixed vegetables, combining well.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet to medium heat.
- Drop batter by tablespoonfuls and fry until golden brown.
- I usually fry 1 or 2 patties and taste them to make sure seasoning is just right. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Using a bamboo skewer, pierce the center of patty to make sure that skewer comes out clean. A little bit of dough will be on the skewer but as long as it's not runny and still wet looking, it should be done.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all the ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready to use. Pat the shrimp dry to prevent excess moisture in the patties.
- Seasoning: Generously season the shrimp with salt and pepper. You may adjust the ratio to taste. The original recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper for 1 pound of shrimp.
- Texture: For a smoother patty, blend the shrimp mixture in a food processor until it reaches a fine paste-like consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture a few times to create a coarse texture.
- Forming Patties: Wet your hands to prevent the shrimp mixture from sticking. Form the mixture into 1-inch thick patties and place them on a plate or sheet pan.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape better and prevents them from falling apart during cooking.
- Cooking: Cook the patties over medium heat. Avoid overcrowding the pan or skillet, as this can cause the patties to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
Conclusion:
This shrimp patty recipe is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or even as a sandwich filling. The shrimp patties are packed with flavor and have a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior. By following these tips, you can create delicious and satisfying shrimp patties that will impress your family and friends.
