Creamy Shrimp And Corn Stew In Shells Recipes

CREAMY SHRIMP & CORN STEW IN SHELLS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the broth. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens.
• Stir the shrimp and corn in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce and cook until the shrimp are cooked through. Spoon the shrimp mixture into the pastry shells. Sprinkle with the cilantro.
• Flavor Variation: For Creamy Shrimp, Lobster & Corn Stew in Shells, reduce the amount of shrimp to 1/2 pound and add 1/4 pound diced, cooked lobster meat with the corn.

SHRIMP WITH CREAMED CORN AND FETA

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.
