--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     3/4  cup           dehydrated shrimp (found in Asian or
                        Mexican markets)
   2      cups          bread crumbs or
                        tortilla crumbs*
                        eggs
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
                        vegetable oil for frying

*To make tortilla crumbs, dry tortillas ( about 12) in an oven on low
heat until crisp.  Grind up in a food processor or blender.

Mix dried shrimps, bread crumbs and in a blender or processor
container.  Process until the shrimps are ground up and well blended
with crumbs.  Empty into a bowl, and add eggs, 1 at a time, until you
have a batter the consistency of a cooked oatmeal. 

Heat enough oil in a skillet to about a depth of 1/4".  Put a
tablespoonful of batter in the oil for each fritter, and fry til golden,
turning once.

Serve on top of Nopales Guisados.
