Crispy crab, sweetcorn and coriander fritters with sweet chilli sauce
by
This Thai sweetcorn fritter recipe by Shaun Rankin is simple yet packed with flavour thanks to a taste of the sea; sweetcorn is a perfect match for the crab's mild, sweet flavour, while coriander adds a floral spice to keep things interesting. You can buy cooked crab meat from your fishmongers - just make sure it is not dressed.
