Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets With Remoulade Sauce image

A cajun dish. A deep fried yummy Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets served with my sauce. Or use your own sauce. A big hit at my house. Adjust the oil so it not too hot when cooking. The eggplant gives the dough an extra creaminess. Go ahead and salt, rinse and dry your eggplant if you normally do it. I never do and I enjoy the slight bitterness eggplant has. To each your own! ;)

I'm sorry, but I have to say that this recipe was a disappointment. The beignets were not as crispy as I expected, and the remoulade sauce was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a complete waste of time. The beignets were inedible, and the remoulade sauce was disgusting. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my beignets turned out terrible. They were dry and crumbly, and the remoulade sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

These beignets were a disaster! They were soggy and oily, and the remoulade sauce was way too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
