How to Make Chamorro Shrimp Patties

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix until just combined.
  2. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  3. Using a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the shrimp mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Fry the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
  5. Remove the patties from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or aioli.
