instructions
    1

    Start by chopping the shrimp into small pieces and dicing the ham into small cubes. This helps in creating a nice texture.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, diced ham, flour, eggs, and sliced green onion.

    3

    Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then mix until everything is well-coated and combined. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

    4

    While the mixture is resting, heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

    5

    Using a spoon, carefully drop small amounts of the mixture into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

    6

    Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

    7

    Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or garnished with more green onions.
