Beet and Shrimp Fritters

Fritters are one of my favorite foods of all time because they're quick, fried, and can be made with almost any ingredients.

For these I used approximately:
1 cup chopped precooked shrimp (damn you Weshop!)
1 beet, washed, peeled and shredded
1/4 cup shredded cauliflower
3 eggs ( I wouldn't add this many if it wasn't Passover and I could use flour to bind then together)
1/4 cup matza meal (I'd usually use flour, but the matza meal ended up working pretty well)
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste

This made seven decent sized fritters

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, and let sit for 5 minutes. Take a small handful of the mixture and squeeze into a patty. If it doesn't easily stick together, add more matza meal ( or flour)

Heat around half an inch of oil in a pan. I recommend something like canola or peanut oil. Place one patty into the oil. Its always important to do a test patty when you're making up you're own recipe in order to make sure it sticks together. Assuming it does, add as many and can fit, and cook for around 5 minutes on each side. I don't usually check the temperature of the oil, but it should be hot enough to form a nice crust, but not burn the outside during the 5 minutes its submerged.




I made a dipping sauce out of mayo, mustard, and relish
