Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are well-coated. Set aside.

Make the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, combine the beaten egg and milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
