DIRECTIONS
In a colander, combine shredded zucchini and salt. Set in a sink to drain for 10 minutes. While waiting, thoroughly combine all sauce ingredients and set aside. After zucchini has drained, squeeze it in a clean dish towel until most of the liquid is removed. Combine zucchini with all other fritter ingredients through black pepper. Heat vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat in a large skillet. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop fritter batter into skillet. Flatten each fritter slightly. Fry 3-4 minutes on the first side then 2-3 minutes on the second side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a plate covered in paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve with the prepared sauce and enjoy!
