Shrimp puffs!

Maybe this is an old recipe but since I haven't done it in awhile, I'm putting on this newer version...

6 large fresh shrimp--toss in buttered fry pan till they turn a nice deep pink, flip over. Cook a a minute longer.
Cool and cut up in small pieces. Set aside.

Mix together: 1 cup of sifted flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 
1 egg, and either a little milk, cream or fish broth (if using canned shrimp, cheater! then toss in the juice as well) 

Add chopped onion--about 2 tablespoons
and chopped cilantro--about 2 tablespoons

Fling in the shrimp and coat well. 

Fry in hot corn oil (I like Mazola with a touch of olive oil--FIRST COLD PRESS, EXTRA VIRGIN, of course!) a tablespoonful at a time.  Set out on a plate with kitchen paper to absorb the oil.
