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:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp.
- If you don't have cornichons, you can use another type of pickle, such as dill pickles or sweet pickles.
- Be sure to drain the shrimp and cornichons well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Serve the fritters hot with the cornichon dressing.

Shrimp fritters with cornichon dressing are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the cornichon dressing adds a tangy and flavorful kick. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
