Recipe by Anna Stockwell Bursting with fresh corn and a hint of spice, these summery fritters take inspiration from a favorite Southern classic.

Ingredients

3/4 cup sour cream 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste 3/4 cup corn flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning 1 large egg 1 cup buttermilk 4 scallions, thinly sliced 1 red or green jalapeño, seeded, finely chopped 1/2 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined, coarsely chopped 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn) 3/4 cup grated cheddar (about 3 ounces) Grapeseed or canola oil (for frying) Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp. salt; set aside for serving. Whisk flour, baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl, then add to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in scallions, jalapeño, shrimp, corn, and cheese. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches and adding more oil in between, drop 1/4-cupfuls corn mixture into skillet, flattening slightly, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain; season with salt and serve immediately with sour cream sauce and lemon wedges alongside.
