- 150 grams Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 150 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce

Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the shrimp into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Fold in the shrimp, corn kernels, green onion, and minced garlic into the batter until combined.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flattening each slightly to form small cakes.
Step 6
Cook the cakes for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 7
For the soy mayo, mix the mayonnaise, soy sauce, lime juice, and chili sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Serve the shrimp corn cakes warm, drizzled with the soy mayo or with the sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
