Cajun Shrimp and Corn Cakes are delicious, crispy, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 large egg (binds the mixture)
  • 1 cup creamed corn (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup whole kernel corn (adds texture)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, plus more for garnish)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
  • Remoulade or aioli (to serve alongside)

Instructions

  1. Begin by chopping the raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp into pea-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp with the egg, minced garlic, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, parsley, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well-blended.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and cornmeal, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to evenly portion the batter into a hot, oiled pan.
  5. Smooth out the tops of the cakes and cook until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the cakes to a plate, and repeat with the leftover batter.
  7. Garnish with additional parsley and serve warm with remoulade or aioli.
