Preparation
1. Cut the shrimp into small pieces and place on a plate or leave on cutting board. Season with salt and pepper and set aside so the flavor can seep in.
2. Meanwhile, add the cormmeal, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, paprika, and whisk together. Add the milk and the egg and stir. Now add the onions, celery, chives, and shrimp and stir in with a wooden spoon. The batter should be thick.
3. Preheat the oil to 350ºF. Once the oil is ready, use a mini cookie scooper and scoop some of the batter in the spoon and into the hot oil. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown, and turn to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. When ready, eat!
