Ingredients:  
2 eggs
1 (10 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. Accent seasoning
2 lbs. medium/large RAW shrimp, thawed, peeled, deveined, and chopped or smashed
1 (10 oz.) package frozen mixed vegetables, completely thawed, and drained
About 4 cups vegetable oil, for deep frying
Directions:
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the evaporated milk. Add the flour, baking powder, and the seasonings. Mix until smooth. Add the shrimp and mixed vegetables, combining well.

Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet to medium heat. Using a small scooper, drop batter and fry until golden brown. Using a bamboo skewer, pierce the center of patty to make sure that skewer comes out clean. A little bit of dough will be on the skewer but as long as it’s not runny and wet looking, it should be done.

Drain on paper towels. Serve at room temperature. The key to having great tasting patties, is to make sure that your shrimp and vegetables are well thawed and drained.

NOTE: Make sure that the shrimp and mixed vegetable are completely thawed out, otherwise as it defrosts, it will water down the batter.

TIP: I usually fry 1 or 2 patties to taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
