1
Combine in a large zip top bag, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and red pepper flake and chopped shrimp. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2
In a large pan, add butter and heat on medium high heat until melted. Add garlic and heat for 30 seconds.
3
Add shrimp and cook for 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink, stirring so that the garlic does not turn brown. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
4
Combine in a large bowl, eggs, milk and baking powder. Whisk very well until incorporated.
5
To the bowl, slowly add flour, stirring to incorporate.
6
Stir in basil. You want a smooth batter, so stir well!
7
Fold in shrimp.
8
In a dutch oven or fryer, heat oil/fat to 350 degrees. Drop a large tablespoon full of the fritter mix into the hot oil or fat. Fry a few at a time. Do not crowd the fryer!
9
Fry until fritters are a nice golden brown. Do not forget to turn them so that they brown evenly. Once done, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
10
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
