Spicy Shrimp Tortillitas With Mango Mayonnaise
- 8 ounces shrimp, shelled and cleaned
- 7 scallions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 habanero pepper, seeds removed
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- Juice of two limes, plus another two limes for serving
- Finely grated zest of one lime
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup mango juice
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Oil for frying
- Salt
- Put the shrimp in a food processor, add the scallion, garlic, habanero, jalapeno, lime zest and salt, and pure. Reserve 1/2 teaspoon of the lime juice, and add the rest to the shrimp mixture. Add both flours, about four cups of water, and parsley, and process until combined in a thin batter. Pour the batter into a bowl and refrigerate for 3-6 hours.
- In the meantime, pour the mango juice into a small skillet or saucepan, and bring to boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until the juice is very thick and reduced to about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Let it cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, reserved lime juice and mango reduction. Mix well and leave in the refrigerator.
- About an hour before frying, let the batter come to room temperature. The batter should be very thin -- to check if it is the right consistency, lift a spoonful; it should fall back into the bowl in a steady stream. If the batter is too tick, add more water.
- In a frying pan heat the oil. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the batter into oil and fry until dark golden and very crisp, turning once. Place the fritters on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve right away with the mango mayonnaise and lime wedges.
