Lobster And Sweet Corn Fritters With Red Onion Cocktail Sauce Recipe

ingredients

Fritters
1 cup finely diced onion
1 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 1/2 cup diced, cooked lobster meat
3/4 cup fresh corn kernels
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chili-garlic paste
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 quart canola oil

Red Onion Cocktail Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup diced tomato (use canned unless really good fresh ones are available)
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 dashes hot sauce

directions

For Fritters: Mix all the ingredients except the oil and sauce together, adding the flour and baking powder last.

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or a small deep fryer until it reaches 350 degrees F to 375 degrees F (Test it by cooking just one fritter first).

With a tablespoon, shape the fritters into small two-bite sized balls and drop carefully into the heated oil. Using tongs, roll the fritters around in the oil until they are deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove and drain on a brown paper bag or paper towel. Serve with the sauce.

For Red Onion Cocktail Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with the fritters.
