Shrimp With Sweet Corn Sauce image

This is a delightful dish from Taste of the Caribbean by Rosamund Grant. This comes together quickly (after marination) and can easily be made as mild or spicy as your family likes. Note: the original recipe calls for marinating the shrimp using "spice seasoning" - I used garam masala, but I'm sure other spice combinations that you like would be good. I also added a whisper of cayenne to the mix before serving, and will probably add a whole jalapeno next time instead of a half as called for. I have also made this with chicken, which was also very good. Prep time includes marination time.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (depending on how "saucy" you want the end result to be, I have also used cubed, boneless chicken.)
garam masala, for dusting (or any spice combination you prefer)
1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 -4 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (I used dried)
1/2 jalapeno, chopped (or other hot pepper)
6 -10 ounces corn (frozen or canned, I used more than the 6 oz called for in the original recipe)
1 1/4 cups coconut milk

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the shrimp with garam masala (or spices of choice) and lemon juice and let marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour. (When I made this with chicken, I used a Cajun mix rather than the garam masala).
  • Melt the butter in a pan and fry onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, till slightly softened.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally till cooked through and pink.
  • Transfer the shrimp, onions and garlic to a bowl, leaving some of the buttery liquid in the pan.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook over low heat, stirring.
  • Add the thyme, cinnamon and cilantro and jalapeno to the pan and stir well. (Keep warm over low heat).
  • Blend the corn (reserving about 1 T) in a blender or food processor with the coconut milk.
  • Add to the pan and simmer till reduced.
  • Add the shrimp and reserved corn and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
