How to Make Cajun Shrimp With Corn Flapjacks
- **Prepare the Flapjacks:**
- In a medium bowl, combine the corn, melted butter, eggs, sugar, 1 cup of flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk until just combined.
- Set the batter aside.
- **Prepare and Cook Shrimp:**
- 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).
- Strain the shrimp broth into a medium bowl; discard the shells.
- In a separate bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning.
- 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).
- Add minced garlic and scallions; cook for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the reserved shrimp broth and boil for 1 minute to thicken.
- Add the seasoned shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through (about 3 minutes).
- Remove shrimp from skillet and cover to keep warm.
- **Finish the Flapjacks:**
- Wipe the skillet clean, coat with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
- Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each flapjack. Cook until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
- Flip and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Top each flapjack with shrimp and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
