Number Of Ingredients 23

8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 egg
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3/4 teaspoon cajun seasoning
4 cups crawfish tails
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup lager beer
peanut oil (for frying)
1/4 cup whole grain Dijon mustard
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the shrimp and kosher salt in a food processor and pulse until the shrimp are coarsely chopped. Add the egg, cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and Cajun seasoning and process until smooth.
  • Combine the crawfish, corn and green onions in a large bowl. Fold in the puréed shrimp mixture. Divide the mixture into twelve 1/3-cup portions.
  • With moistened hands shape the mixture into 1 1/2 x 3-inch logs and arrange on a baking sheet. Insert a popsicle stick into one end of each log, pushing the stick almost to the other end. Cover the corn dogs and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Mix the flour, cornmeal, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the beer. Dip one corn dog at a time in the batter, coating the corn dog and 1/2-inch of the popsicle stick evenly. Deep-fry the corn dogs 4 at a time in peanut oil heated to 350°F Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
  • To Make The Spicy Mustard: Combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, chives, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and dry mustard in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
