CAN YOU SAY SHRIMP FRITTERS?!?!? OH YES YOU CAN!!!!!!

                                                     After cooked...🥰

Several months ago I came across this recipe and I am so happy that I found it. This has been one of my go to recipes as of late. It’s easy and is a quick meal. Every time Jonathan asks what for dinner and I  tell him its shrimp fritters I get a “YES!” While this recipe suggests a Lemon Aioli, I like to put it up with a spicy mayo dressing. What can I say besides, my family likes a kick of heat. But if you’re looking for somethings little lighter check out Natasha’s Kitchen for this recipe and also the her Aioli recipe.
