Corn and Shrimp Fritters

"These are wonderful little tid-bits! Great without the sauce, but the sauce definitely adds something extra. I like the sauce with other things too....chicken fingers, fried shrimp, grilled chicken....try it out on whatever you think might suit you! Originally shared by Jo Rita Jordan, and the recipe is from Rosie's Place in Massachusetts."

  1. Breezermom, can't tell you how much we enjoyed these, I made the for DH's birthday appy and I got rave reviews all evening. From the taste of the fritters to the amazing dipping sauce, everyone wanted the recipes. I made as directed except added a scant 1/2 teaspoon of pepper flakes to the fritter mix as DH loves the bite of them. The real star of this recipe as good as the fritters where is that dipping sauce - I'll be keeping that on hand for so much. I must say when I looked at the fritter mix in the bowl, I didn't know if it would work as it was so loose - but not to worry, it was perfect as they began to fry in the free form shapes. Love it all

  3. Breezermom congratulations on this incredible recipe. I have placed this treat in my best of 2011 cookbook. What can I say about these fritters, they are awesome. Quick and easy to make, crisp and packed full of flavor, the texture was excellent. Simply a tremendous recipe. I absolutely loved the dipping sauce and will be using it for all kinds of future treats. It is the bomb and the best part was that it was so easy using ingredients that I always have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, which we will enjoy again and again.
