As a recipe developer, I want everything I create to be the best thing I’ve ever had, but unfortunately it just doesn’t work out that way – no matter how hard I try. For me, it’s a delicate balance between maximum flavor while still being easy and approachable.

Shrimp and Corn Fritters cut in half with lemon on side

Then, every now and then, I hit one totally out of the park – one that just makes my tastebuds sing.  This recipe for Shrimp and Corn Fritters is one of those.  Y’all, these things are absolutely amazing.  Like I could barely keep myself from eating every single one of them.

The super crispy outside breaks away to reveal a tender, incredibly flavorful cornbread filling overflowing with shrimp, corn, and green onions.  But there’s more…

Hush Puppy mix and lemon as ingredients for Shrimp and Corn Fritters

If you check out the ingredient list, you’ll see something a little unusual.  Now, you’re probably thinking, “He used salsa?”  And yes. Yes, I did.  It adds SO much flavor but doesn’t taste like salsa at all.  It’s such a great shortcut.  Even better is my use of House-Autry Hushpuppy Mix with Onion.  It makes it super easy, too!  And since it already has all that onion flavor in it, we end up with some super flavorful fritters.

Whether you serve these as an appetizer, a side, or as a main course, everyone is going to love these little flavor bombs!  Serve them with a squeeze of fresh lemon or even a dipping sauce like ranch or remoulade and you’ll see exactly why I love these little fritters so dang much.

    I made these after a trip to Disney World and eating shrimp and corn fritters there. They were “meh”, but I thought they could be better. I made your recipe and my family loves them! They’re so good!!

      A remoulade would be great, although last time I made them I just stirred some cajun seasoning in some mayo and it was delish!!
