Cajun Shrimp Hush Puppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will leave your taste buds wanting more. These crispy, golden-brown balls of goodness are packed with flavor and are perfect for any occasion.

To make Cajun Shrimp Hush Puppies, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked shrimp
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying

To start, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a bowl. Add in the chopped shrimp and green onions and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Cajun Shrimp Hush Puppies are a perfect combination of crispy and savory. The outside is crispy and golden brown, while the inside is soft and fluffy. The shrimp and green onions add a burst of flavor that is perfectly complemented by the Cajun spices.
