These beignets are essentially fritters made with lump crabmeat and sweet corn, mixed with a batter of flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic, scallions, and Cajun seasoning. The beignets are deep-fried until golden brown and served hot with a tangy and slightly spicy remoulade dressing on the side. This dish is a perfect appetizer or snack for seafood lovers, as it combines the delicious flavors of crab and corn in a crispy and satisfying way.

PROS
