Prawn and zucchini fritters

Method

For the fritters, place the zucchini in the middle of a clean cloth then wring out any excess liquid and discard.

Combine the grated zucchini with salt, eggs, flour, onion, chopped prawns, herbs, salt and pepper.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and spoon in a heaped ¼ cup of zucchini prawn mixture for each fritter, flattening into even rounds with the back of a spoon. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden.

Repeat with oil and remaining mixture, spacing fritters evenly apart in the pan.

Serve fritters with yoghurt, the whole prawns, extra herbs and lemon.

Serves 4.
