Zucchini Corn Fritters with Lime

Instructions:

1. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to extract moisture.
2. Wrap the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly over the sink until no more liquid drips.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper.
4. Stir the beaten egg, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp lime zest into the flour mixture until a thick paste forms.
5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini, corn, and sliced scallions until the vegetables are evenly coated in the batter.
6. Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
7. Scoop approximately 2 tbsp of batter per fritter into the pan, flattening slightly with a spatula, and sear until golden brown on both sides.
8. Prepare the lime crema by mixing Greek yogurt, remaining lime juice, remaining lime zest, and a pinch of salt.
