Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to pat the shrimp dry before coating them in the flour mixture. This will help the coating stick better.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure that the oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before frying the nuggets.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the nuggets. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop and result in soggy nuggets.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
3. Add the shrimp and corn to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
4. Dip each shrimp and corn nugget into the egg mixture, then back into the flour mixture, pressing to coat.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Fry the nuggets in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
