To make these Cajun Shrimp Corn Fritters, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of fresh corn kernels
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil, for frying
To start, combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the shrimp and corn.
Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, making sure to leave enough space between each fritter. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
