Cooking tips

  • Use the salty liquid drawn from the zucchini directly in the batter to preserve the zucchini’s rich, sweet flavor.
  • Mix tempura flour and starch powder in a 2:1 ratio for an extra-crispy exterior and chewy interior texture.
  • Do not skimp on oil—use enough to coat the pan generously so the edges become perfectly crisp and fried.

Recommended for

  • Those craving crispy, spicy fritters on damp or humid days.
  • Home cooks looking to enhance traditional zucchini fritters with the deep aroma and savory taste of dried shrimp and peppers.
  • Beginners who struggle with adjusting batter moisture and often end up with soggy fritters.
