Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Let Batter Rest

    Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Heat a Skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

  2. 7

    Cook the Base

    Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each cabos. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 8

    Fill the Cabos

    Once the base is cooked, place a generous spoonful of the shrimp filling on top of one half of the cabos and fold the other half over to cover the filling.

  4. 9

    Repeat Cooking

    Continue this process until all batter and filling are used, keeping the cooked cabos warm in a low oven if necessary.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the cabos warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado. Offer lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
