Seafood Beignets
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Seafood Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, white fish, cream cheese, and red onion. Mix well until fully combined and set aside.

Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water until a thick batter forms.
- 3
Combine and Chill
Gently fold the seafood mixture into the batter until just combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Beignets
Using a spoon, drop small amounts of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on paper towels.
