Instructions:

7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
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.
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.
