Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets With Remoulade Sauce image

A cajun dish. A deep fried yummy Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets served with my sauce. Or use your own sauce. A big hit at my house. Adjust the oil so it not too hot when cooking. The eggplant gives the dough an extra creaminess. Go ahead and salt, rinse and dry your eggplant if you normally do it. I never do and I enjoy the slight bitterness eggplant has. To each your own! ;)

These beignets were delicious! The shrimp and eggplant were cooked perfectly, and the remoulade sauce was the perfect dipping sauce. I'll definitely be making these again.

The beignets were good, but they were a bit too greasy. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

These beignets were a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll try using less cayenne pepper next time.

These beignets were easy to make and turned out great! I used gluten-free flour, and they were still crispy and delicious. The remoulade sauce was also very good.

The beignets were good, but the remoulade sauce was a bit too tangy for me. I'll try making a different sauce next time.

These beignets were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These beignets were easy to make and turned out great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of flour, and they were still crispy and delicious. The remoulade sauce was also very good.
