SHRIMP CORN DOGS
Steps:
- For the Dijon mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and cayenne and mix well. Set aside.
- For the batter: Mix the buttermilk, oil and eggs together. Mix the cornmeal, flour, parsley, Creole seasoning, baking powder and baking soda together. Combine, adding the wet to the dry. Set aside.
- For the plate: Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Skewer each shrimp through the tail towards the head. Combine the flour and cornstarch and dust over the shrimp. Next, dip the shrimp in the batter, rubbing off any excess.
- Hold the shrimp by the stick, two at a time if able, and place in the oil, holding the stick until the batter starts to cook. Then let go and fry until the shrimp is cooked, about 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp with the Dijon mayo dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Add all the shrimp ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined and smooth. Form the shrimp mixture into 7 equal sized 2-inch balls. Insert a wooden pop stick into the middle of each shrimp ball and form the ground shrimp into a shape similar to a hot dog. Place shrimp dogs on a cookie sheet and put in the refrigerator until well-chilled and firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- While chilling shrimp dogs, prepare batter. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, egg, cornmeal, garlic powder, sugar, baking powder and buttermilk.
- Place the remaining 1 cup of flour onto a large plate. *Dredge chilled shrimp dogs into flour then dip into the batter and fry in the hot oil for 3 minutes or until dark and golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray to drain.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, horseradish, and paprika. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve corn dogs.
Tips:
- Use fresh, deveined shrimp for the best flavor. Frozen shrimp can also be used, but thaw them completely before cooking.
- If you don't have a corn dog maker, you can use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with hot oil to cook the shrimp corn dogs.
- To make the shrimp corn dogs even more delicious, try dipping them in your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
- Serve the shrimp corn dogs with a side of fresh vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
