SHRIMP AND CORN IN A BUTTER BATH



Shrimp and Corn in a Butter Bath image

This dish is inspired by the flavors of a classic shrimp boil, including andouille, potatoes, corn, Old Bay and garlic. However, we upped the ante by simmering everything in an all-butter sauce. Serve family-style with toasted crusty bread for dipping and sopping up all that extra sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed (about 20)
Kosher salt
12 ounces smoked andouille sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
2 pounds (8 sticks) unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay, plus more for serving
4 ears of corn, shucked and cut into thirds
1 1/4 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon, juiced
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until just knife-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain and reserve.
  • Place the pot back over medium heat. Add the andouille and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add the butter, garlic, seafood seasoning and 1 teaspoon of salt. Once the butter has completely melted and it's just starting to bubble at the edges, add the corn and cook until the kernels are bright yellow and tender, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, making sure all the pieces are fully submerged, then cook until pink and just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the lemon juice and reserved potatoes to warm through.
  • Ladle the andouille, shrimp, vegetables and butter sauce into a large serving. Top with parsley and a light sprinkle of additional seafood seasoning and serve with toasted crusty bread, for dipping.

SUMMER SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH TOMATOES AND CORN



Summer Shrimp Scampi With Tomatoes and Corn image

Shrimp get along well with garlic, butter and lemon, and so do tomatoes and corn. Combine them, and you get a summery shrimp scampi that comes together in one skillet. A searing hot pan helps the tomatoes blister and the corn caramelize before they are coated in a garlic-lemon butter sauce. This is a meal in and of itself, but if you want to serve it with pasta or bread, they'd be welcome additions.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 4 ears)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), plus wedges for serving (optional)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
3 tablespoons chopped parsley or chives, or torn basil leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp very dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and lightly golden in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate.
  • Add the tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until they start to blister in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until the tomatoes burst and the corn is golden in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until you smell garlic, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add the wine and lemon juice, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until nearly evaporated, then add the butter and stir until melted. Add the shrimp and its juices and stir until warmed through. (If the sauce breaks and looks greasy, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water and stir until emulsified.)
  • Remove from heat, add the herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with extra lemon for squeezing over, if you like.

SHRIMP WITH CREAMED CORN AND FETA



Shrimp With Creamed Corn and Feta image

Fresh summer corn kernels, simmered with feta cheese and a little cream, make a buttery bed for shrimp sautéed in a tomato and bell pepper sauce. Think of it as a lighter, sweeter and wholly inauthentic take on shrimp and grits. If you crave this out of corn season, feel free to use frozen kernels instead.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds extra-large peeled shrimp (12 to 16 a pound)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 cups corn kernels (from 6 to 7 ears corn)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, more for serving
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small red onions, diced
1 large poblano chile or green bell pepper, diced
2 large ripe tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Large dash of Worcestershire sauce
Dash of hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
Cilantro leaves, for serving
Basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss shrimp with salt and garlic and let rest in the refrigerator until needed (up to 2 hours).
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with the cream over medium heat. Add corn, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring once or twice, until the corn is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. If all the moisture evaporates before the corn is soft, add a few teaspoons water to the pan.
  • Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend corn mixture until you get a chunky purée. Mix in feta, black pepper and salt to taste. Cover and keep warm until needed.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté until pale golden and soft, 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, a large pinch of salt, and a tablespoon or two of water if the pan looks dry, and sauté until the tomatoes break down and turn saucelike, about 8 minutes.
  • Add shrimp, lemon juice and Worcestershire and hot sauces. Sauté until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir remaining butter into pan and add more salt, if needed.
  • Serve corn topped with shrimp and plenty of crumbled feta. Garnish with cilantro and basil.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, sweet corn, and fresh basil.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the shrimp and corn well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the shrimp and corn. This will help bring out their flavor.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will prevent the shrimp and corn from sticking to the pan.
  • Serve the shrimp and corn immediately: Shrimp and corn is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and corn with basil is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its vibrant colors and flavors, shrimp and corn with basil is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
