CAJUN SHRIMP BALLS
The Acadians of Louisiana, also known as Cajuns, are especially innovative cooks who learned to make good use of whatever was on hand. Crawfish balls are a favorite of Cajuns, but since these delicate little critters are not easy to come by in other parts of the country, shrimp is used in this recipe. Served hot, they're a fine first course or appetizer to enjoy with drinks. If you wish, serve with remoulade sauce. From an old newspaper clipping.

PAULA DEEN'S CAJUN SEAFOOD BALLS
Seafood for me is like a lollipop to a five-year-old. I get giddy when I have it. It can be expensive but worth it. These looked easy enough for me to do and cheap enough too buying when it's on sale and using canned products. This one I have adapted to fit my pocket book. I buy the frozen cocktail shrimp, but canned would work and I omitted the corn, but I went ahead and put it in this recipe to post the original. I think these are great for any time you're in the mood for seafood or having the boss and his wife over.
