Shrimp Fritters with Blackberry Dipping Sauce
I feel like most of the pink food I’ve been making has been sweet. I wanted to make something savory for a change. These shrimp fritters were AMAZING. They had a great shrimp and garlic flavor without being overly greasy or heavy.
I really enjoyed the Blackberry Dipping Sauce. I loved how the sweetness countered the savory flavors of the fritters. However, Hubby thought the texture was kind of weird. Next time I make this, I’ll definitely puree the dipping sauce so that it has a smooth texture to appease Hubby’s taste buds.

Ingredients:
For the Shrimp Fritters:
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Canola oil
For the Blackberry Dipping Sauce:
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
5-6 fresh blackberries
Directions:
To make the Shrimp Fritters:
In a large bowl mix the shrimp, green onions, garlic, breadcrumbs and egg until well combined. Season with salt and a pinch of pepper.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and heat over medium-low heat. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of the shrimp mixture, then pat them gently to form cakes. Carefully lower the cakes into the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and the shrimp have cooked through. Drain on towels.
To make the Blackberry Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and blackberries, smashing the blackberries with a fork. Serve with the shrimp cakes.

Fantastic job with the lattice top! The pie looks awesome :).
It does look really pretty. I’ve never had the patience to do a lattice top. It sounds delicious!
I’m furious with myself for still never having a rhubarb pie! This is truly a good looking pie; very rustic and pretty!
Truly a work of art! I’m kind of intimidated by pies so I’m in awe of your pie making skills. That pie looks like it’s ready for a magazine cover! 🙂
Strawberry rhubarb pie is one of my favorites 🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Mine is in the oven as I type. Hopefully, it comes out half as good as yours!
I just have to thank you for this recipe!! It’s the first time I’ve made a pie that wasn’t all runny when cut. I was so happy to have pieces that stayed intact!!
Also, I didn’t need the foil at any point – the crust didn’t overbrown, it was just perfect.
I’ll be using this again and again!
can i omit rhubarb and just put strawberries? will it make a difference?
I haven’t tried using this recipe with just strawberries. You might want to cut back on some of the sugar. Rhubarb is very tart, so you always have to put a lot of sugar into rhubarb recipes.
ahh, i can already hear the crunchy sound in my mouth!
