A Mediterranean recipe, perfect for appetizer-style dinners. I followed a magazine recipe but made a couple of changes to suit my taste.

In a burst of experimentation, I tried making a couple of fritters on a crepe maker, without oil and with a thin layer of butter. The result was an acceptable crepe, but nothing like the crispy shrimp fritters, so I set that idea aside.

Personally, I prefer them a bit toasted and crispy rather than just golden and soft. I guess there's a perfect middle ground, but today ours turned out a little messy looking and very tasty.
