Method: 

Corndog batter

Combine the shrimp and kosher salt in a food processor and pulse until the shrimp are coarsely chopped. Add the egg, cream, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and Cajun seasoning and process until smooth.

​Combine the crawfish, corn, and green onions in a large bowl. Fold in the puréed shrimp mixture. Divide the mixture into twelve 1/3-cup portions.

​With moistened hands shape the mixture into 1 1/2 x 3-inch logs and arrange on a baking sheet. Insert a popsicle stick into one end of each log, pushing the stick almost to the other end. Cover the corn dogs and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.

Mix the flour, cornmeal, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the beer. Dip one corn dog at a time in the batter, coating the corn dog and 1/2-inch of the popsicle stick evenly. Deep-fry the corn dogs 4 at a time in peanut oil heated to 350˚F. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

Spicy Mustard
​Combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, chives, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and dry mustard in a medium bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
