Savory Shrimp Beignets with Remoulade Sauce

We're all familiar with those powdered sugar covered beignets for which New Orleans is famous.  Trust Zatarain's to provide a recipe for a savory version along with a recipe for remoulade sauce for dipping!

1 3/4 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon Zatarain's ® Creole Seasoning

1 1/4 cups whole milk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

1/2 pound cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped

2 green onions, chopped

Vegetable oil, for frying

Remoulade Sauce

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 T. Zatarain's ® Creole Mustard

2 T. capers, coarsely chopped

2 T. chopped green onions

1 t. Zatarain's ® Cajun Hot Sauce

1 t. lemon juice

1/4 t. celery seed

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the Beignets, mix flour, baking powder, and Creole Seasoning with a whisk in a large bowl. Add milk and egg; mix just until moistened. Whisk in melted butter until smooth. Gently stir in shrimp and green onions. Let batter stand for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Pour 2 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven. Heat to 350°F on medium heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Fry the beignets for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp and then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. 

Serve beignets with Remoulade Sauce.
