Seafood Nacho Corn Dogs combine crispy cornmeal batter, melted cheese, zesty nacho seasoning, and succulent seafood for a unique, flavorful snack perfect for game day or casual gatherings. These crispy, golden bites are quick to prepare, customizable, and great for sharing.

Ingredients

Seafood

  • Firm fish like cod or shrimp, cleaned and cut into bite-sized chunks

Batter

  • Cornmeal flour (quantity as needed for batter)
  • All-purpose flour (to mix with cornmeal, approx. 1/2 cup)
  • Nacho seasoning blend (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt – approx. 1 tbsp total)
  • Eggs (2 large)
  • Milk (about 1 cup)

Additional Ingredients

  • Cheese chips or melted cheese (for outer layer or filling, optional)
  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying, enough to fill the fryer/skillet about 2-3 inches)
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water prior to use)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Seafood: Clean and cut your seafood into bite-sized chunks or skewer whole shrimp, ensuring even cooking and proper fit on the sticks.
  2. Mix the Nacho Corn Dog Batter: In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal flour, all-purpose flour, nacho seasoning blend, eggs, and milk until smooth but thick enough to coat the seafood pieces well.
  3. Assemble the Corn Dogs: Thread seafood pieces onto wooden skewers. Optionally, add a small cheese cube inside the seafood before battering for a melty surprise. Dip each skewer into the batter, fully covering it to create a crispy shell after frying.
  4. Fry Until Golden: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet or fryer. Carefully place battered skewers in hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove corn dogs and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, garnishes, and side dishes for full flavor enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood for best flavor and texture.
  • Maintain consistent oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked corn dogs.
  • Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Test batter consistency with a small seafood piece before coating all.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water before frying to prevent burning.
  • Customize seasoning and seafood type to personal preference or dietary needs.
