- 1 teaspoon Annatto/Achuete powder (can be more or less)
- 1 cups small shrimps + some for toppings
- 2 cups grated sweet potatoes
- oil - for frying

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt and ground pepper. Add the water and whisk together until well-blended and smooth. Stir in annatto/achuete powder to the mixture and mix well until color is evenly distributed.

- Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
