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.

I think I use my apple corer once a month but the time it saves me is so worth storing it!
The pie looks beyond delicious. I haven’t been feeling apple desserts this year but this is one I could get into.
I am making Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year and I think this pie is definitely going to make it to my table!
This pie would def be great for Thanksgiving dinner Sarah!
This pie looks incredible! My husband loves apple pie and I am planning on making this for him!
Um seriously-this looks ridiculous! I always think that my moms apple pie is the best but…
I’m not a huge fan of apple pie (I make it for a certain someone I live with), but an apple pie with a crisp-like topping and spiced filling is one I could definitely get behind.
And I seriously want one of theose peeler/corer/slicer things. Every year I go to Freeport and inevitably someone in LL Bean is demo-ing one.
Now that’s a delicious apple pie!I saw your blog from the foodie blog roll and I like what you have here.if you won’t mind I’d love to guide Foodista readers to this post.Just add the foodista widget at the end of this post and it’s all set, Thanks!
Looks delcious! I love my apple peeler/corer/slicer machine. I use it for crisps, apple cakes, applesauce, etc. My husband packs my lunch too…it is nice to be spoiled!
We LOVE apple desserts in our house…I’ve bookmarked this delicious looking pie and will try it soon! : )
Beautiful treat. Look so yummy.
Ok it’s been decided….I’m making this for Thanksgiving! Amazing!!!
What an awesome twist on apple pie! It looks stellar Jen. Bravo!
