Millet With Corn Mango And Shrimp Recipes

MILLET WITH CORN, MANGO AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Put the millet and a large pinch salt in a medium saucepan with water to cover by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cook, stirring occasionally until the millet is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Add water if necessary to keep the grains covered; if any liquid remains by the time the millet is tender, strain it out.
• While the millet cooks, put 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet over high heat. When hot, add the kernels and cook, shaking the pan occasionally. Keep the corn in a flat layer until all of the corn kernels are deeply browned (or even lightly charred) on at least one side. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about a minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, transfer to a serving bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Put the remaining tablespoon of neutral oil in the skillet. When it's hot, add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink all over and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add them to the bowl with the corn.
• When the millet is tender, add it to the bowl along with the onion, mango or peach, arugula, basil, lime juice and olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CREAMY CORN AND MILLET

Steps:

• Toast 2/3 cup millet in 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and simmer, stirring, until creamy, 25 to 30 minutes. Grate 3 ears corn on a box grater and add to the pan; stir in 1 sliced scallion. Season with salt, pepper and sugar; top with more scallions.

SKILLET SHRIMP AND CORN WITH LIME DRESSING

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.
