How to Make Easy Cajun Shrimp With Corn Flapjacks

  1. Season 1 pound of shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
  2. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of corn kernels (fresh or frozen), 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Set batter aside.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  6. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
  7. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a rich brown roux (about 3-5 minutes).
  8. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 green onions (chopped) and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  9. Whisk in 1 cup of chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
  10. Add the cooked shrimp to the sauce and cook until heated through.
  11. Cover and keep warm.
  12. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/3 cup of corn batter onto the hot surface for each flapjack.
  13. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms are nicely browned (about 2-3 minutes).
  14. Flip and cook for 1 minute more.
  15. Top each corn flapjack with the Cajun shrimp and sauce. Serve immediately.
