Ingredients:

  • 500g Zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 120g All-purpose flour
  • 2 Large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 30g Scallions, finely sliced
  • 5g Baking powder
  • 3g Sea salt
  • 60ml Grapeseed oil
  • 450g Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 60ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 Cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2g Red chili flakes
  • 15ml Fresh lemon juice
  • 5g Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 240ml Full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 Cloves garlic, minced
  • 15ml Fresh dill, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Grate the zucchini and toss with sea salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow for osmotic moisture extraction.
  2. Wrap zucchini in cheesecloth and squeeze out all excess liquid. In a bowl, fold in grated cucumber, minced garlic, and dill into the Greek yogurt. Chill the tzatziki until serving.
  3. In a cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low. Infuse with sliced garlic and chili flakes until fragrant. Increase heat to high, add shrimp in a single layer, and sear for 90 seconds per side. Finish with lemon juice and parsley.
  4. Combine dried zucchini, eggs, scallions, flour, and baking powder to form a thick batter.
  5. Heat grapeseed oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high. Fry tablespoons of batter for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and rigid. Drain on a wire rack.
