How to Make Cajun Shrimp With Corn Flapjacks

3. Set the batter aside.
4. **Prepare and Cook Shrimp:**
5. Place shrimp shells in a shallow saucepan with 1/2 cup water and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the water is reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
6. Strain the shrimp broth into a medium bowl; discard the shells.
7. In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.
8. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the remaining 1/2 cup flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown (3-5 minutes).

12. Remove shrimp from skillet and cover to keep warm.
13. **Finish the Flapjacks:**
14. Wipe the skillet clean, coat with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
15. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each flapjack. Cook until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
16. Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
17. Top each flapjack with shrimp and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
