Corn Flan With Spicy Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the shrimp, vodka and egg white in a medium bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over high heat until the ingredients release their flavor, about 1 minute. Add the reserved shrimp shells, sake and half the chopped tomatoes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
• Add the stock, salt, white pepper and cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Strain through a fine sieve; set aside the liquid.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until half cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Add the remaining tomatoes, corn, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper and gingerroot to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes. Return the shrimp and the reserved liquid to the skillet. Stir-fry over medium heat until the ingredients are heated through and the shrimp are cooked, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, toss and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Coat six 4-oz flan molds with nonstick spray or olive oil.
• Blend corn, half and half and feta in a blender until almost smooth.
• Add the eggs, yolks, salt and pepper pulsing to combine.
• Place the flan dishes in a roasting pan and fill with corn mixture.
• Place the pan in the oven and pour hot water half-way up the sides of the flan dishes.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a knife comes out clen.
• Remove flans from the water bath and cool 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding on serving plates.
• For the shrimp, combine the flour and seasonings in a bowl; add the shrimp and toss well to coat.
• In a large skillet, warm the oil and butter over medium-high heat, add the shrimp and cook just until browned on both sides but not cooked through; transfer to a plate.
• Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of pan.
• Simmer until reduced by half, approximately 2 to 4 minutes; add the broth and simmer an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add shrimp back to pan and cook until firm and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in butter and let melt; spoon the shrimp and sauce over unmolded flans; garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
• Brush the corn with 2 tablespoons oil, then season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill, rotating a few times, until the corn is tender and nice char marks appear, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then cut the corn away from the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Meanwhile, put the red chiles, shallot, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a blender and blend until coarsely chopped. Pour in 3/4 cup oil and blend until smooth.
• Stir together the shrimp and sauce in another medium bowl until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Do not marinate the shrimp for longer than 15 minutes. The high amount of acid in the marinade will start to break down the proteins in the shrimp and will make the result mushy.
• Grill the shrimp, flipping halfway, until opaque and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Fold the mint, parsley, pomegranate seeds, crumbled feta, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper into the medium bowl with the grilled corn. Serve with the grilled shrimp.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
• Place shrimp and crab boil into a large saucepan. Fill with water to 1 inch above the shrimp, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 3 minutes until shrimp turn pink, then drain.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, and red onion, cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, corn, lime juice, cilantro, oregano, chipotle pepper, and salt. Stir in the half-and-half, and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture is simmering, stir in shrimp, and toss with the drained pasta.

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry, then toss with the coriander and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let sit while you prepare the dressing.
• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, mint, honey, garlic, chile, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk until well combined and emulsified.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then add the shrimp in an even layer. Cook the shrimp until pink and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the corn to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and cook the corn without stirring until it begins to brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Give the corn a stir and cook for another minute.
• Add the shrimp back to the pan, along with 2 tablespoons of the dressing, and stir to coat everything in the dressing and to rewarm the shrimp.
• Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with more dressing, and garnish with more mint. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Grate 2 ears of corn on the large holes of a box grater over a medium bowl, catching as much juice as possible; set aside. Cut kernels from remaining ear of corn into another medium bowl; set aside.
• Bring broth, milk, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat so liquid is at a simmer and gradually whisk in grits. Simmer, whisking often, until grits are very tender, 20-25 minutes. Mix in butter and reserved grated corn; season with salt and pepper.
• Fifteen minutes after you have added grits to saucepan, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, oregano, and paprika, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add reserved kernels and cook,stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to pop, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• Serve shrimp and corn over grits topped with chives.

Steps:

• Strip kernels from corn. Combine them with milk in a blender, and blend. (Mixture will not be perfectly smooth.) Pour into a saucepan, and heat gently until steam rises, about 5 minutes. Cover, and steep 10 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 300 degrees, and set a kettle of water to boil. Grease bottoms and sides of four 6-ounce ramekins with butter.
• Strain corn-milk mixture into a large bowl, and discard contents of strainer. Add salt to taste to the milk in the bowl. (Oversalt just a bit.) In a small bowl, beat eggs and yolk together, and add a little of the strained milk to warm. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the milk. Add spices, and pour into ramekins.
• Put ramekins in a deep roasting pan or an ovenproof skillet, and add boiling water about halfway up their sides. Bake about 20 minutes, until barely set (still quite jiggly in the middle). Leave flans in ramekins or remove them by inverting each over a plate about 15 minutes after they come out of the oven. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a 10- to 12-quart pot. Squeeze lemon juice into water, then add the halves. Add onions, garlic, salt, and spice bundle. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover, and cook 10 minutes.
• Add potatoes to pot; return liquid to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add corn; continue cooking 5 minutes more.
• Remove from heat. Stir in shrimp, submerging them completely. Cover, and let stand until shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Ladle 2 cups of broth into a glass measuring cup; drain the rest in a large colander, discarding liquid.
• Make spicy butter: In a small bowl, stir together melted butter and hot sauce to taste. Divide butter among small dishes or ramekins.
• Divide reserved broth among small bowls for dipping. Transfer shrimp and vegetables to a large platter, and serve with spicy butter, if desired.

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.

Steps:

• Make flans:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook corn in a pot of boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Cut off kernels with a sharp knife into a bowl, scraping ears. Reserve 3/4 cup for relish and purée remainder in a blender with milk until smooth. Force corn purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding skins.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and cayenne until blended and whisk in corn purée.
• Pour flan mixture into lightly oiled ramekins and bake in a hot-water bath just until set, about 40 minutes.
• Remove ramekins from water bath and cool on a rack. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
• Make relish:
• Stir together corn, tomatoes, onion, and basil. Stir in oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Run a thin knife around edge of each flan, then invert flans onto plates. Spoon relish over them.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Bring chicken broth and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in the grits, return to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, green pepper, and garlic; cook until the peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, and cook until they begin to firm.
• Stir the Monterey Jack cheese, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shrimp and vegetable mixture, canned tomatoes, and black pepper into the grits; pour into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 30 to 45 minutes.
