Spicy Cassava Fritters with Prawn

Method

1. 1 Peel the cassava root, grate it thoroughly, and squeeze out the excess water, but retain the starch that settles at the bottom.
2. 2 Return the settled starch to the grated cassava mass; this is the only binding agent for the spicy cake.
3. 3 Mix the cassava with plenty of chopped chili peppers, green onions, salt, and pepper.
4. 4 Peel the shrimp, chop them coarsely, and mix them into half of the flour mixture.
5. 5 Shape the dough into elongated balls, then press a small shrimp into the center of each ball.
6. 6 Fry in warm oil from 150 degrees to 175 degrees for 8 minutes until the inside is cooked through and the outside is crispy.
