Tortillita de camarones

These shrimp fritters are a tapas dish from Cádiz, made from shrimps, wheat and chickpea flour, scallions, and parsley. It is called a "tortillita" (little omelet) despite the fact that it does not contain any egg and is actually a thin, crispy fritter. Its likely predecessor was called a "gachuela," a type of fritter with fish or vegetables that was made in Cádiz. However, the use of chickpea flour is the legacy of Genoese sailors. They baked cakes using this type of flour and would frequent the port of San Fernando, where this dish is said to originate.
