Jalapeno Hushpuppies Recipe

Jalapeno Hushpuppies are a requirement with all of our fried fish or shrimp.  It’s a must!  They are spicy, crispy, golden brown little nuggets of fried cornbread heaven.  No fish fry is complete without them. We recently had these with our Beer Battered Fish.  If you are going to be frying fish anyway throw in some of these bad boys.  I promise you won’t regret it.

Simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. It takes less than 5 minutes to mix the batter and only about 5 minutes of frying time. Fast and easy jalapeno hushpuppies!
