Steps:
- COCKTAIL SAUCE - Combine all the ingredients for the cocktail sauce, and cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- FRITTERS - In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (expect the oil). Make a well in the dry ingredients, and add the liquid. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat half of the oil to 375°F/190°C (To test temperature: A small piece of bread dropped into the oil should float up to the surface almost immediately and brown within 45 seconds.).
- Drop the fish mixture by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Deep fry the fritters in batches until golden brown, for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate (to absorb excess oil).
- Peel and slice the plantain lengthwie as thinly as possible. In a deep, heavy saucepan, heat the remaining oil to 375°F/190°C (Try the bread test again.) Carefully place the plantain strips into the hot oil, frying in batches so they do not stick to one another. With a slotted spoon move the strips around for about 1 minute until they become crsip. Immediatgely remove them and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while they are still warm.
- To serve, place a Romaine leaf inside a bowl, then top with a couple of the plantain strips. (Placing them against the side of the bowl gives the dish a little height.) Add about 3 seafood fritters. Sprinkle some diced red peppers on top of each fritter.
- Serve with Caribbean Cocktail Sauce on the side.

Steps:

SEAFOOD FRITTERS WITH MARMALADE DIPPING SAUCE
I love seafood fritters with marmalade dipping sauce because when ever I make them they go flying off the plate and we can't ever make enough of them. They are finger food so that they are easy to eat at parties. If you don't want to use your fingers you can always use skewers or tooth picks too. These little nuggets are packed...

CRUNCHY SHRIMP FRITTERS
To make these super-tasty and summer-y fritters, juicy shrimp are poached in lemon water and then coated in a batter made with rice flour before being deep fried to golden brown perfection. The rice flour ensures an ultra-crisp coating with a side benefit of making this dish naturally gluten-free!

Steps:
- Grate 1 teaspoon zest from lemon, then cut in half. Place both halves and 4 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add shrimp; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain; let cool 15 minutes. Peel and cut into a 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups).
- Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest. Whisk seltzer and egg into dry ingredients. (Batter should have the consistency of thick honey. If too thick, add more seltzer; if too thin, add 1 tablespoon rice flour.) Stir in shrimp.
- Working in batches, and using two tablespoons (one to scoop, one to scrape), drop batter in oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil between 340° and 350°. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges and zest.

Tips:
- Use fresh seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better your fritters will taste. If you can, buy seafood that was caught the same day.
- Cut the seafood into small pieces. This will help the fritters cook evenly.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the fritters will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fritters immediately. They are best when served hot and crispy.
