Method

Fritters

Preheat Wesson Canola Oil to 350°F in a large heavy bottom pot or deep fryer.

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in buttermilk just to combine. Fold in shrimp, bacon, corn (if using), and green onions.

Drop batter by the tablespoon into the oil; it will form into balls as it cooks. Do not overcrowd the pot. Allow fritters to cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked inside.
