If You Prefer Your Seafood Fried, These Delicious Potato Shrimp Bites Are For You

We all have a list of foods that we’ve never tried, or that we’ll never try again. At the top of my list is an entire category: seafood.

I’m not sure if it’s the fishy smell or the slimy feel of sea creatures, but I’ve never found seafood of any kind to be appetizing. I will however, cook it for my family, as long as they remain at least 15 feet away from me while they eat it.

Despite my unfamiliarity with the taste of seafood (but I want to learn more about Harbour House Crabs and what they offer), one thing I know for sure is like any other food on the planet, it tastes much better when it’s battered and fried. These potato shrimp bites look so delicious, that I might even consider giving them a try. You can’t go wrong with a recipe that includes my favorite starch, potatoes.
