/2 Pound Large shrimp; peeled, deveined, and cut into 1/2−inch pieces  
Eggs; beaten  
−1/2 Cup Milk  
Teaspoon Baking powder  
Teaspoon Salt  
1/4 Cup Flour  
Tablespoon Chopped parsley  
Crystal Hot Sauce  
Worcestershire Sauce  
1
Pound Fresh zucchini; grated  
Solid vegetable shortening; for deep−frying  
Creole seasoning  
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium−high heat. Add the onions. Season with  
salt and pepper and saut for about 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted.  
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and saut until the  
shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool. Make a  
batter by combining the eggs, milk, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and the  
cayenne. Add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until  
all is used and the batter is smooth. Stir in the parsley. Season the batter  
with hot sauce and Worcestershire Sauce. Season the zucchini with salt and  
pepper. Add the shrimp mixture and grated zucchini to the batter and fold to  
mix. Heat the shortening to 360 degrees F. Drop the batter, a heaping  
tablespoon at a time, into the hot oil. When the fritters pop to the  
surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them  
evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with Creole seasoning and  
serve with the Roasted Red Pepper Emulsion.
