Shrimp fritters are a delicious, crispy appetizer or snack featuring a batter made of flour, eggs, and seasonings combined with chopped shrimp. Originating from various coastal cuisines, these fritters are especially popular in Caribbean and Southeast Asian dishes. They often include herbs like parsley or cilantro and spices such as paprika or garlic powder to enhance their flavor. While shrimp is a lean source of protein, rich in vitamins like B12 and nutrients like selenium, the fritter preparation involves deep frying, which increases calorie and fat content. Depending on the recipe, the batter may also contribute refined carbohydrates. For a healthier twist, shrimp fritters can be baked or air-fried instead of fried in oil. Paired with a fresh salad or vegetable dipping sauce, they can offer a flavorful treat that balances indulgence with nutrition.
