SHRIMP MAQUE CHOUX

Sweet corn, spicy peppers, and succulent shrimp are the stars of this maque choux, or Cajun succotash. The "milk" scraped from the corn cobs after the kernels are cut off gives the broth an irresistible creaminess. Experiment with different varieties of peppers for a uniquely delicious result every time.

Steps:

Melt butter in a large straight-sided skillet or wide, shallow pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion white and light-green parts, onion, peppers, celery, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring a few times, until vegetables are crisp-tender and golden in places, 6 to 8 minutes.
Stir in corn kernels and milk, then vermouth; boil until liquid has mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in stock, cream, and shrimp. Bring to a simmer (but do not let boil), reducing heat as necessary, and cook until shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard thyme sprigs, stir in dark-green scallion tops, and serve.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch scallions (about 7), thinly sliced into rounds, white and light-green parts separated from dark-green tops
1 small red onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 pound mild to moderately spicy peppers, such as bell, Anaheim, cherry, padron, and sweet habanero; stems, ribs, and seeds removed, chopped (2 1/2 cups)
2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)
5 thyme sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ears corn, kernels and corn milk stripped (about 3 cups total)
1/3 cup dry vermouth
1 cup fish or seafood stock, or clam juice
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
