Recently Jenna from Just Cook Already asked me to become a contributer! I just love this blog. There are oodles of fabulous recipes! My first recipe I shared was my husband's and my version of our favorite appetizer, Tod Mun or Shrimp and Corn Fritters. It is really easy to make and super delicious to eat:)

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c. plain flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. ground coriander

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

5 oz. corn kernels

5 oz. creamed corn

1/4 lb. bay shrimp

1/2 c. milk

2 eggs

2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives

salt and pepper to taste

1/3 c. olive oil

Sweet Thai Sauce:

2 tbsp. brown vinegar 

3 tsp. brown sugar

3 tsp. chili sauce

1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives

1 tbsp. soy sauce

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

1. Sift flour, baking powder, coriander and cumin in a large bowl, making a well in the center. Add both types of corn, shrimp, milk, eggs, chives, salt and pepper into the well. Stir by hand until combined. 

2. Heat oil in a large pan. Lower a heaping tablespoonful of batter into the oil. Cook over med-high heat, approx. 2 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.

To make dipping sauce:

Heat vinegar, brown sugar, chili sauce, chives, soy sauce and cayenne pepper (optional) in a small sauce pan until sugar is dissolved. 

Enjoy!!
