Cajunville Shrimp & Corn Fritter

Cajun French: la chevrette (la shuv-ret) – shrimp

Cornbread is a staple in south Louisiana. Anytime there are greens cooking, cornbread will be baking. We’ve taken cornbread and stepped it up to dinner party status. Our pantry always has a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, it’s easy, quick and good. So this recipe uses the mix with much added flavor.

Mais C’est Bon!
