Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 cup Pico de Gallo, recipe follows
6 1/2 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons water
30 large shrimp, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled and deveined
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup coarse cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, cooled to room temperature
1 egg, beaten
1 cup fresh corn kernels, from 2 small ears
2 scallions chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 scallions, finely chopped, for garnish
1 tablespoon finely diced onion
1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons Mexican beer
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 lime juiced

Steps:

  • To prepare the Pico de Gallo, place the onion in a small strainer, rinse with hot water, and drain. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the remaining salsa ingredients, and mix well. Let sit, refrigerated, for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to marry. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the chipotle puree with the water. Add the shrimp and toss to thoroughly coat. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the 1 cup of softened butter with the remaining 4 1/2 tablespoons of chipotle puree; use more or less chipotle, to taste. Set aside at room temperature. To prepare the Corn Cakes, thoroughly combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the buttermilk and melted butter together, then whisk in the egg. Gradually add the combined dry ingredients, stirring continuously until thoroughly incorporated. In a food processor, puree 1/2 cup of the corn kernels and fold into the batter. Then add the whole corn kernels and scallions, and mix together. Add a little more buttermilk if the batter is too thick. Set aside. To cook the shrimp, heat the 3 tablespoons of butter on a griddle or in a skillet. Saute the shrimp for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat, turning once. Be careful not to overcook. Keep warm. To cook the Corn Cakes, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and ladle enough Corn Cake batter to make 3-inch cakes. Cook until golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat for the remaining cakes (there should be enough for 18 cakes). Place 3 warm Corn Cakes on each serving plate. Place 5 shrimp on top of the cakes and spread the warm soft chipotle butter liberally over the shrimp. Spoon the Pico de Gallo next to the Corn Cakes and garnish with the scallions.;

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE



Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake image

This habanero honey sweet corn cake is spicy, sweet, savory, dense, moist, and very addictive! I also had no idea what to call this, as it's not really a cake, but it's also not a pie, or a pudding, or a custard, so I ended up with "cake" since it's inspired by sweet Mexican corn cake. No matter what you call this, it's phenomenal! Garnish with fresh fruit and top with crème fraiche, sour cream, Mexican crema, or whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Corn: Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it thoroughly before using.
  • Control the Moisture: The amount of moisture in the corn cakes can affect their texture. If the batter is too wet, the corn cakes will be mushy. If it's too dry, they will be crumbly. Adjust the amount of milk or water as needed to achieve a slightly thick, but pourable batter.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking the corn cakes over medium heat allows them to cook evenly without burning the outsides. Be patient and let them cook for the full time to ensure they are cooked through.
  • Use Ripe Avocados: For the guacamole, use ripe avocados that are creamy and have a slight give when pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
  • Season to Taste: Guacamole is versatile, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add more lime juice, cilantro, or jalapeño for a bolder flavor, or reduce the amount for a milder guacamole.

Conclusion:

Corn cakes with shrimp and guacamole are a delicious and satisfying meal that combines the flavors of sweet corn, savory shrimp, and creamy avocado. With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can easily create this dish at home. Serve the corn cakes with a dollop of guacamole, a side of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a complete and flavorful meal.
