How to Make Asian Shrimp And Ginger Fritters With Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Fritter Batter:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
  2. **Process Shrimp Mixture:** In a food processor, combine 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce. Pulse until just combined; do not over-process.
  3. **Combine Batter and Shrimp:** Gently fold the breadcrumb mixture into the shrimp mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. **Fry the Fritters:** Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  5. **Fry in Batches:** Using a tablespoon, carefully drop rounded portions of the fritter mixture into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. **Drain and Keep Warm:** Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you fry the remaining batches.
  7. **Make the Dipping Sauce:** In a blender, combine 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1-2 finely chopped Thai chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Blend until smooth.
  8. **Serve:** Serve the golden-brown shrimp fritters immediately with the sweet chili dipping sauce for dipping.
