Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shredded papaya and about 1 tablespoon salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes and using hands, squeeze to dispel juices. Rinse under cold running water and squeeze to remove excess liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine egg, cornstarch, flour, water, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well-blended and smooth.
- Add papaya, kalabasa, shallots and green onion to batter and stir to combine.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat about 2-inch of oil until hot.
- On a large spoon, place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture and press 1 to 2 shrimps on top.
- Gently slide mixture into the hot oil and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches as necessary.
- Remove from heat and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve hot with spiced vinegar dip.
For the Spiced Vinegar Dip
- In a bowl, combine vinegar, chili peppers, onions, and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For crispy results, make sure the oil is hot and enough to submerge patties during frying. Cook patties in batches and do not overcrowd the pan.
- To keep from falling apart, fry the fritters undisturbed for about 2 to 3 minutes until browned on the bottom, and then turn with the spatula to continue to cook until browned and crispy.
