A recipe from Captain Magwood - Shrimp Fritters

Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup self-rising corn meal
1 medium sized sweet onion, chopped
1 medium sized bell pepper, chopped
A pinch of sugar
1 egg
Enough milk to make the batter stick to the spoon - not thick, but not runny
A dash of salt and pepper
1 lb shrimp

Directions:

Mix ingredients in a bowl, roll shrimp in batter and fry in grease at about 350 degrees.  Lightly brown shrimp on both sides.

Serve with Magwood's sauce - 50-percent mayonnaise, 50-percent ketchup and a dash of hot sauce.

The update:
Slow and steady goes the pace for the Winds of Fortune. Captain Magwood burned a little more fuel last week then he expected, but catches remain strong and he hauled in 1,200 pounds of brown shrimp last Wednesday.

Prices:
Brown Shrimp
Head on: $2.50 lb
Head off: $5 lb (40-50 count)

Jumbo Shrimp
Head off: $7.50 lb (26-30 count)
