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
Begin by chopping the raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp into pea-sized pieces.
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.
Sprinkle in the flour and cornmeal, mixing until fully combined.
Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to evenly portion the batter into a hot, oiled pan.
Smooth out the tops of the cakes and cook until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Transfer the cakes to a plate, and repeat with the leftover batter.
Garnish with additional parsley and serve warm with remoulade or aioli.
