Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In bowl, whisk the flours with the salt and gradually whisk in 1 cup water until smooth. Stir in the shrimp, onion and parsley. (Batter can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead and left in a cool place.)

  2. Step 2

    Pour oil to a depth of ¼ inch into a large skillet and heat over high heat until smoking. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil, spreading with a spoon to make thin, lacy pancakes. (You will be able to cook about 4 at a time.) Fry for about 1 minute, until golden underneath, and turn to brown the other side. Drain and serve immediately.
