Number Of Ingredients 13

7 ounces cooked shrimp
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon salt, plus
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup milk
1 whole egg
1 whole small vidalia onion, minced
3 whole celery stalks minced
1/4 cup chives, minced
Oil, for frying

Steps:

Cut shrimp into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper and set aside so the flavor can seep in. Meanwhile, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, paprika. Add milk and egg and stir. Add onions, celery, chives, and shrimp and stir with a wooden spoon. The batter should be thick. Preheat oil to 350°F. When the oil is ready, use a mini cookie scooper to scoop some of the batter and carefully lower into the hot oil. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, then place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. When ready, eat!
