Prawn and Vegetable Spaghetti Fritters

I am not quite sure where the idea for these fritters came from - maybe from the fact that I am so over Festive Food at the moment and I really wanted something different or the fact that I had some left over cooked spaghetti sitting on the bench staring at me. Where ever it came from though I am glad as they went down a treat.

Very easy to prepare and cook, these were full of prawns and vegetables and overall very tasty. In fact several of the household had seconds so that must be a good sign. Nice by themselves or serve with a sauce of your choice such as kecap manis or tomato.
