Preparation
Shrimp Acras
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, green onion, coriander, Sriracha and seasoning. Mix in the flours, baking powder and salt. Add shrimp. Mix in yogurt and eggs.
Heat oil to 190ºC (375ºF). Using a spoon, drop approximately 15 ml (1 tbsp.) of the mixture for each acra. Cook only eight at a time to maintain the temperature of the oil. Fry 3 to 4 minutes or until the acras are golden-brown, turning halfway through. Put on an absorbent paper towel.
Serve hot with yogurt sauce.
