Steps:
- Fill a heavy, deep saucepan with at least 6 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 340°F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- To make the sauce, combine the jelly, mustard, and vinegar; whisk until smooth and chill until needed (this can be made 1 day in advance).
- To make the batter, in a large bowl, combine the flour, coconut, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and green onions. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly and make a well in the center.
- Slowly pour the beer into the well, whisking from the inside to the outside until the mixture has the consistency of pancake batter. If it's not, thin it with a touch of water.
- Line a plate with paper towels and have ready. Fold the shrimp into the batter. Using 2 tablespoons, carefully scoop one batter-coated shrimp into one spoon, and with the other spoon, push the mixture into the hot oil (be careful not to splash the oil). For best results, fry no more than four beignets at a time. Using a slotted spoon, turn the beignets to cook 1 minute per side, until puffy and light brown all over. With a slotted spoon, remove the beignets from the oil and let drain on the prepared plate.
- To serve, season with salt and accompany with the sauce.
CORN AND SHRIMP BEIGNETS
A light batter coats plump pieces of shrimp and sweet corn kernels, delivering a savory bite perfect for picnics, a finger-food weeknight meal or casual entertaining. Lemon zest and ground cayenne pepper provide an essential zing that brightens these easy-to-devour morsels. Although these crisp fritters are wonderful fresh out of the pan, they can also be cooled, stored frozen in an airtight container and popped in a hot oven to warm and refresh.

Steps:
- Line a sheet pan with a layer of paper towels or fit with a wire rack. Fill a deep, medium saucepan with oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat over medium-high to 350 degrees.
- While the oil heats, whisk the flour, ground cayenne, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Zest the lemon right into the bowl; slice the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving. To the bowl, add the chives, corn and shrimp. Stir to combine. Pour in the seltzer and stir until just combined. Fold in the sour cream until just incorporated.
- Once a deep-fry or candy thermometer reads 350 degrees, the oil is ready. If you don't have a deep-fry thermometer, you also can see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a tiny dollop of the batter into the pot: Bubbles should form around the batter immediately and the dollop should float to the surface. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, carefully drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil and fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Maintain the temperature of the oil while frying by raising or lowering the heat as needed.
- Transfer the beignets to the paper towels or rack using a slotted spoon or tongs. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the beignets warm, with lemon wedges for squeezing and with sweet chile sauce for dipping, if using. Sprinkle the beignets with a little salt, if you like.
CHEESY SHRIMP SCAMPI BEIGNETS WITH CORN MAQUE CHOUX AND BASIL REMOULADE
This Southern-inspired dish uses buttery shrimp scampi in the cleverest of ways. The convenience of using frozen shrimp shortens prep time while the garlic-butter sauce adds major flavor to crisp, golden beignets. They are nestled in creamy, sweet corn and topped with a zesty remoulade spiked with plenty of lemon and fresh basil.

Steps:
- Prepare the shrimp according to the package directions for the microwave. Drain the melted butter sauce from the shrimp and reserve (you should have about 3/4 cup). When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, roughly chop them and set aside.
- Combine the butter, 1 1/4 cups water, 1/4 cup of the reserved scampi butter and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately add the flour, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- Using a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs one at a time until a silky dough forms. Stir in the Monterey Jack and reserved chopped shrimp; set aside.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup reserved scampi butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, bell pepper and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the corn and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and cook until the corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Combine the mayonnaise, basil, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest and remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning in a small bowl and mix well; set aside.
- Set a wire cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Fit a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a deep-fry thermometer, fill with 2 inches vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a tablespoon with vegetable oil. Working in two batches, gently drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until puffed, golden and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the beignets with a slotted spoon to the wire rack.
- Spoon the corn mixture on a large platter and top with the beignets. Serve with the basil remoulade.

Steps:
- Put the warm water into a large bowl, then sprinkle in the yeast and a couple teaspoons of the sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved.
- Let proof for 10 minutes.
- Add the rest of the sugar, salt, eggs, and evaporated milk.
- Gradually stir in 4 cups of the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and thoroughly blended.
- Beat in the shortening, then add the remaining flour, about 1/3 cup at a time, beating it in with a spoon until it becomes too stiff to stir, then working in the rest with your hands.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight in a greased bowl.
- Roll the dough out onto a floured board or marble pastry surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch, then cut it into rectangles 2-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches with a sharp knife.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 360 degrees F.
- Fry the beignets about 3 or 4 at a time until they are puffed out and golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Turn them over in the oil with tongs once or twice to get them evenly brown, since they rise to the surface of the oil as soon as they begin to puff out.
- Drain each batch on paper towels, place on a platter lined with several layers of paper towels, and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven until they're all done.
- Serve 3 beignets per person, sprinkling heavily with powdered sugar, and serve hot with cafe au lait.

SHRIMP-EGGPLANT BEIGNETS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
A cajun dish. A deep fried yummy Shrimp-Eggplant Beignets served with my sauce. Or use your own sauce. A big hit at my house. Adjust the oil so it not too hot when cooking. The eggplant gives the dough an extra creaminess. Go ahead and salt, rinse and dry your eggplant if you normally do it. I never do and I enjoy the slight bitterness eggplant has. To each your own! ;)

Steps:
- Mix together the yeast, flour, sugar and 1 tsp sea salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together the evaporated milk and egg and tip into the bowl with the melted butter and 60ml just-boiled water. Knead on a medium speed for 2 mins in the stand mixer, or for 5 mins on a lightly floured work surface, until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and put in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel and chill for 8-24 hrs.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a roughly 20 x 25cm rectangle about 1cm thick. Cut into 20 x 5cm squares.
- Pour the oil into a deep stock pot or saucepan, so it is no deeper than one-third full. Or, use a deep-fat fryer. Heat the oil to 175C. Line a baking tray with kitchen paper. Fry the beignets in batches for 3 mins, turning occasionally with tongs, until puffed up and golden brown. Lift the beignets onto the paper to drain, then move to a wire rack, dust generously with icing sugar and serve warm.
