Let’s make it.

Whisk flours, water and salt into batter and fold in sweet potato and shrimp.
Heat a shallow film of oil in a heavy frying pan over medium heat.
Spoon small flat fritters into the pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side, adjusting heat to avoid burning.
Check shrimp centers reach 74°C and potato is tender; drain and serve promptly.
