How to Make Corn And Shrimp Fritters

1. Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, 1 cup of frozen corn kernels (thawed), 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1 inch in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
5. Carefully drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of the shrimp mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
6. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the shrimp should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Serve immediately with the zesty dipping sauce.
9. **Zesty Dipping Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Stir well to combine.
