Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely minced cornichons
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh tarragon
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 eggs, separated
8 ounces peeled and cleaned small shrimp (26/30 count), chopped
1 cup finely sliced scallions
1 cup small diced zucchini
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
About 2/3 cup buttermilk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the cornichon dressing: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cornichons, Dijon mustard, mustard powder, tarragon and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the shrimp fritters: Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whip the egg whites to medium peaks; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp, scallions, zucchini, garlic and jalapenos and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and paprika in a medium bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and enough of the buttermilk so the mixture is thick and not runny (adjust the amount accordingly). Season with salt and pepper. Fold the shrimp mixture into the batter, followed by the egg whites just to incorporate.
  • Drop the fritters into the oil in batches using a small scoop or spoon, about 1 tablespoon each. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt. Serve with the cornichon dressing.

CORN AND SHRIMP BEIGNETS



Corn and Shrimp Beignets image

A light batter coats plump pieces of shrimp and sweet corn kernels, delivering a savory bite perfect for picnics, a finger-food weeknight meal or casual entertaining. Lemon zest and ground cayenne pepper provide an essential zing that brightens these easy-to-devour morsels. Although these crisp fritters are wonderful fresh out of the pan, they can also be cooled, stored frozen in an airtight container and popped in a hot oven to warm and refresh.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 24 beignets

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more if needed
1 whole lemon
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives (1/2 ounce)
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears corn)
6 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups seltzer water
1/4 cup sour cream
Sweet red chile sauce, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a sheet pan with a layer of paper towels or fit with a wire rack. Fill a deep, medium saucepan with oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat over medium-high to 350 degrees.
  • While the oil heats, whisk the flour, ground cayenne, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Zest the lemon right into the bowl; slice the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving. To the bowl, add the chives, corn and shrimp. Stir to combine. Pour in the seltzer and stir until just combined. Fold in the sour cream until just incorporated.
  • Once a deep-fry or candy thermometer reads 350 degrees, the oil is ready. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, you also can see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a tiny dollop of the batter into the pot: Bubbles should form around the batter immediately and the dollop should float to the surface. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, carefully drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Maintain the temperature of the oil while frying by raising or lowering the heat as needed.
  • Transfer the beignets to the paper towels or rack using a slotted spoon or tongs. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the beignets warm, with lemon wedges for squeezing and with sweet chile sauce for dipping, if using. Sprinkle the beignets with a little salt, if you like.

Tips for Making Shrimp and Corn Fritters:

- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before using. - Be sure to chop the shrimp into small pieces so that they cook evenly. - You can use any type of corn in this recipe, but fresh corn on the cob is the best. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fritters. If the oil is too hot, the fritters will burn. If the oil is not hot enough, the fritters will be greasy. - Fry the fritters in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly. - Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
