Shrimp corn dogs are a delightful treat that combines two classic carnival foods into one delicious bite. The succulent shrimp is coated in a crispy cornmeal batter and deep-fried until golden brown. The result is a crispy, crunchy exterior with a tender, flavorful interior. Shrimp corn dogs can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or tartar sauce. They can also be enjoyed with a side of fries or onion rings. Whether you're looking for a fun and easy appetizer or a main course that's sure to please everyone, shrimp corn dogs are the perfect choice.

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, sweet corn for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a corn dog maker, you can use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil.
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the corn dogs.
- Don't overcrowd the fryer or saucepan, or the corn dogs will not cook evenly.
- Serve the corn dogs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
