Peel and devein the shrimp, then chop them into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Finely chop onion, bell pepper, garlic, and green onions; add to the dry ingredients.

In another bowl, whisk together egg and milk until well combined.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the chopped shrimp and parsley until evenly distributed.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
