1 small onion (approx. 1/2 cup) grated fine and strained well
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 eggs
1/3 cup soy flour

Garlic aioli:
6 cloves garlic 
2 egg yolks

Spoon in 2 tablespoons fritter mix and fry fritters three at a time until batter is finished (golden brown). Place on wire rack and finish aioli and shrimp preparation.

Aioli Preparation:
Puree eggs and garlic in food processor until smooth - about 20 seconds. Slowly drizzle in oil while continuously running processor until mixture is thick and smooth - about 30 seconds.
