Cajun Fried Zucchini – This easy recipe uses one bowl to prep a delicious cold water Cajun batter.  Serve them warm with your favorite ranch dressing!

We don’t fry a whole lot around here, but when we do we make it worth our while.  And who doesn’t love a fried vegetable?  Am I right?  This Cajun Fried Zucchini made the perfect addition to our meal the other night!

Rather than making a traditional egg to flour batter, we used my family’s cold water batter recipe.  It is super simple!  I love that you mix it up all in one bowl and dip the zucchini in there.  It makes the clean up a breeze!  

This batter also works well for frying shrimp too!  It’s definitely my favorite way to prepare them!
