Pea fritters with shrimps and mint cream

Pea fritters with shrimps and mint cream offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The sweetness of peas complements the savory shrimp, while the mint cream adds a refreshing touch. This dish is perfect for a light lunch, appetizer, or even as a party snack.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sour cream
72g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1 yolk
16g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
1 tbsp bread crumbs
16g
1 shallot
50g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
8 oz shrimps
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pea Fritters:
1. In a medium pot of boiling water, cook the peas for about 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. In a medium bowl, lightly mash the peas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.
3. Add the egg yolk, flour, bread crumbs, and finely chopped shallot to the bowl with the peas. Mix well to combine.
4. Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of a tablespoon each.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Add the pea fritters to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
2. Cook the Shrimps:
1. In the same skillet, add the shrimps and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. You may need to add a little more olive oil if the skillet is too dry.
2. Remove the shrimps from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Assemble and Serve:
1. Place the pea fritters on a serving platter.
2. Top each fritter with a cooked shrimp.
3. Remove the mint cream from the refrigerator and add a dollop on top of each shrimp-topped fritter.
4. Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and fresh mint leaves if desired.

Tips:

- For best results, use fresh peas but frozen peas can work too.

- Ensure the shrimp are deveined and peeled before cooking.

- When forming the fritters, aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
