Now that we have everything ready, let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can whip up these corndogs in no time:

1. Start by heating your vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F. You want enough oil for frying, about 3-4 inches deep.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and Cajun seasoning. Stir until well mixed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
4. Now, it’s time to assemble! Take a skewer and thread a piece of sausage followed by a shrimp, then another piece of sausage. Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving some space at the bottom for holding. This method adds a delightful bite of both flavors in every piece!
5. Dunk each skewer into the corndog batter, coating it well. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
6. Carefully place the battered skewers into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Once cooked, remove the corndogs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle a little extra Cajun seasoning over the top while they’re still hot for an added kick!
