Prawn Sweetcorn Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Put half the prawns, half the sweetcorn, half the cumin seeds, all the flour, 100ml water and some seasoning into a food processor. Whizz until smooth, then tip into a bowl.
• Roughly chop the remaining prawns and add to the mixture with the remaining sweetcorn and cumin seeds, the coriander and spring onions. Mix well.
• In a large pan or wok, heat enough oil to come 1-2cm up the side of the pan. Spoon walnut-sized blobs of the mixture into the hot oil. Squash down a little with a spoon and cook for 1-2 mins each side until golden brown and crisp (you will have to do this in batches). Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.

Steps:

• Whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, and ¼ tsp. salt; set aside for serving.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, and ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl, then add to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in scallions, jalapeño, shrimp, corn, and cheese.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches and adding more oil in between, drop ¼-cupfuls corn mixture into skillet, flattening slightly, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain; season with salt and serve immediately with sour cream sauce and lemon wedges alongside.

Steps:

• Prepare the avocado just before you want to cook the cakes, as it discolours if it sits too long. Halve and stone the avocados and scoop out the flesh. Mash with all the other ingredients until smooth. Taste for seasoning (you may want to add a little more vinegar). Cover and set aside.
• For the fritters, put the cornmeal, flour, half the sweetcorn, the eggs, milk, butter and baking powder in a food processor and, using the pulse button, blitz together. Season and stir in the rest of the corn, the chipotle paste, chilli, spring onions and the prawns by hand.
• Heat some oil in a large frying pan and, once it is hot but not smoking, spoon dollops of the corn-cake batter into the pan. You are aiming to make cakes about 10cm in diameter. If you use a large pan, you should be able to cook four fritters at the same time. When each cake has set underneath and you can see bubbles on the surface, flip it over and cook until golden. Lift each cake out onto a double layer of kitchen paper. You can keep the cakes warm on a baking sheet (in a single layer) in a low oven while you cook the rest. Add more oil as you need it. Serve the cakes with the avocado purée, some soured cream and wedges of lime.
