Okay - page 67 of "Cooking for Isaiah". I thought the kids would like this one. No dice! It wasn't because of the taste, because they didn't even try. My wife and I enjoyed them though. They were not quite perfect (for us), so here are a few changes I will implement next time:
1. I found the frying time to be longer than 3 minutes -- actually closer to 5-7. Let your eyes and senses guide you on this one.
2. The flavor was a bit bland. I will double the cilantro, chili-powder and cumin in the next attempt.
3. I would recommend a bit less salsa and a bit more mayonnaise for the dipping sauce.
I scooped the batter with my Zerroll scoop and the fell nicely into the oil and fried into nice fairly crisp balls of goodness.
My one mistake, I let the blades spin too long in the food processor, eliminating most bigger chunks of shrimp. Be very careful to either mix the chopped shrimp by hand, or give just a couple of quick "pulses" in the food processor.
Enjoy this one!
