Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Make Hushpuppies

    In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine milk and egg. Mix wet ingredients into dry until just combined. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot, and drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Prepare Corn Fritters

    In a bowl, mix corn kernels, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and milk. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
