To make these Smoky Chipotle Sea Fritters, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

To start, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, and chipotle chili powder in a bowl.

Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
