• 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.
