One third cup of flour
Three eggs
One half teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
Instructions
Step One Prepare the Vegetables

If the zucchini releases too much moisture squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
Step Two Mix the Ingredients
In the same bowl add the flour eggs and Cajun seasoning to the grated vegetables.
Mix everything together until a thick batter forms.
If the mixture seems too wet add a little more flour to help bind the patties.
Step Three Shape the Patties
Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a round patty.
Repeat until all the mixture is used making sure the patties are uniform in size.
