Description

Sausage Shrimp Cajun Corndogs are a bold Southern twist on the classic fair favorite. Juicy smoked sausage and tender shrimp are skewered, dipped in a spicy Cajun cornmeal batter, and fried to golden perfectionโ€”perfect for parties, snacks, or game day bites.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • 8 cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 pieces of smoked sausage (about 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Thread one shrimp and one sausage piece onto each skewer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, Cajun seasoning, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce (if using).
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a thick batter.
  6. Heat about 2โ€“3 inches of oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
  7. Dip each skewer into the batter, coating evenly.
  8. Carefully lower into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3โ€“4 minutes.
  9. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  10. Serve hot with Cajun mayo, remoulade, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp dry before skewering to help batter adhere better.
  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper or diced jalapeรฑos to the batter.
  • You can prepare the batter up to 1 hour in advance and refrigerate.
  • Pairs well with coleslaw or pickles for contrast.
