This recipe is one of my girlfriend's favourites. It's a dish from the South of Spain where they excel in frying all kinds of fish and seafood. It's really nothing more than a pancake with some baby shrimp mixed into the batter. Here's what you need:
1 small onion, spring onion preferred.
1 small cup of flour ( the original recipe calls for chickpea flower, which makes the tortillita more crunchy.
1 egg
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
1 small pinch of saffron
Salt to taste
Pinch of cayenne
200g cooked baby shrimp
1.5dl. milk
Frying oil
I didn't have spring onion so I decided to finely chop and lightly fry a small normal onion for a few minutes, just enough to take the edge off its sharpness.
Mix the rest of the ingredients with the fried onion.
Add the baby shrimp and milk. Stir to a batter.
Heat up a frying pan, add the oil and fry the tortillitas as you would fry small pancakes. You can make one and see if you need to adjust for salt.
Leave the on a paper towel to absorb some of the excess grease. Try a bite and dream away to the south of Spain...
