These are wonderful little tid-bits! Great without the sauce, but the sauce definitely adds something extra. I like the sauce with other things too....chicken fingers, fried shrimp, grilled chicken....try it out on whatever you think might suit you! Originally shared by Jo Rita Jordan, and the recipe is from Rosie's Place in Massachusetts.

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.

Chipotle, corn & prawn fritters with avocado purée image

Make these moreish fritters as a starter or light main course, with a delicious avocado purée - you can also serve them with guacamole or chipotle aioli

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Side dish, Starter

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12 fritters (serves 4 as a light main, 6 as a starter)

Number Of Ingredients 19

50g fine cornmeal or polenta
50g plain flour
225g sweetcorn , from a can or frozen (drained if from a can)
3 large eggs
75ml milk
40g butter , melted and cooled
1 tsp baking powder
3 tsp chipotle paste or chipotle powder
1 red chilli , halved, deseeded and chopped
2 spring onions , finely chopped
300g raw shelled king prawns , roughly chopped
sunflower oil , for frying
soured cream and lime wedges, to serve
2 ripe avocados
2 limes , juiced
1 garlic clove , grated to a purée
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ tbsp sherry vinegar
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander

Steps:

  • Prepare the avocado just before you want to cook the cakes, as it discolours if it sits too long. Halve and stone the avocados and scoop out the flesh. Mash with all the other ingredients until smooth. Taste for seasoning (you may want to add a little more vinegar). Cover and set aside.
  • For the fritters, put the cornmeal, flour, half the sweetcorn, the eggs, milk, butter and baking powder in a food processor and, using the pulse button, blitz together. Season and stir in the rest of the corn, the chipotle paste, chilli, spring onions and the prawns by hand.
  • Heat some oil in a large frying pan and, once it is hot but not smoking, spoon dollops of the corn-cake batter into the pan. You are aiming to make cakes about 10cm in diameter. If you use a large pan, you should be able to cook four fritters at the same time. When each cake has set underneath and you can see bubbles on the surface, flip it over and cook until golden. Lift each cake out onto a double layer of kitchen paper. You can keep the cakes warm on a baking sheet (in a single layer) in a low oven while you cook the rest. Add more oil as you need it. Serve the cakes with the avocado purée, some soured cream and wedges of lime.

SHRIMP & CORN FRITTERS



SHRIMP & CORN FRITTERS image

Categories     Shellfish     Appetizer     Fry     Kid-Friendly     Corn

Yield 20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup corn meal
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz cooked shrimp
1 corn cob, kernels cut off (or 3/4 cup frozen)
olive oil
1/4 red or orange bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, white & light green parts sliced thinly
(can also substitute chopped red onion)
1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped (cilantro, mint, parsley)
1 egg
1/2 cup water (or mix of water and clam juice)
canola oil

Steps:

  • Chop the cooked shrimp. Place in a large mixing bowl. You can use either fresh or frozen corn for this recipe. You may choose to roast the corn, but it's not really necessary. If using corn on the cob, remove husks and silks, and then cut off the kernels Roast kernels in a skillet with a little olive oil and salt until lightly browned and caramelized. Add to the shrimp. To the skillet, add a little more oil if necessary, and lightly saute the chopped bell pepper and onion. Add to the shrimp and corn. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, add chopped herbs and water, and mix to combine. Pour into the flour mixture and stir well. Add more water if mixture is too stiff. Combine the batter with the shrimp and corn. Heat oil on medium-high in a large skillet to about 1/4 inch deep. Carefully drop mounded spoonfuls of batter into the oil, pressing down with the back of the spoon to spread into a 2 inch diameter fritters. Fry until browned, flip over, and brown the other side. About 3 to 5 minutes each side. Remove fritters to paper towel to drain oil. Serve with chutney or sauce of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose your prawns wisely: Use fresh, wild-caught prawns for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using frozen prawns if possible, as they can be mushy and flavorless.
  • Prep your corn properly: Fresh corn is best, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen or canned corn, drain it well before using.
  • Use a good quality flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in fritters, but you can also use whole wheat flour, cornmeal, or almond flour for a different flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the fritters in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop the batter in. This will help the fritters cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Drain the fritters on paper towels: After frying, drain the fritters on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Prawn and corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a side of salad or rice. With a little planning and preparation, you can make these fritters in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give prawn and corn fritters a try!
