12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Flour
¼ cup Almond flour
½ cup Milk
4.00 Scallions; thinly sliced
6.00 ounce Bay shrimp; sweet Maine shrimp,
Or smallest shrimp available
1.00 teaspoon Paprika
½ cup Fresh mint leaves
1.00 teaspoon Ground cumin
¼ cup Fresh oregano leaves
4.00 Garlic cloves; thinly sliced
¼ cup Extra-virgin olive oil; plus
4.00 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
3.00 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste

Directions

In a mixing bowl, stir together flours, add milk and scallions and stir to form batter. Add shrimp and paprika and refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place mint, cumin, oregano, garlic and ¼ cup oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Add vinegar, season with salt and pepper and pour into a serving bowl. Heat remaining oil in 3 nonstick pans until smoking. Drop shrimp batter into pans to form 3-inch pancakes (about 2 tablespoons batter each) and cook until golden brown and crisp at edges. Remove to plate and keep in a warm oven. Continue until all the batter is finished. Serve warm with mojo. This recipe yields 12 tortillas.
