Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 teaspoon paprika

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.
