Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons really good butter (we love Kerrygold!)
- Kernels from 4 ears of corn
- 2 pounds shelled shrimp
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil or thyme
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in large frying pan. Add corn and shrimp and stir-fry until shrimp is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- This dish is perfect as is, but if the mood strikes me I have been known to mix in some crumbled feta cheese, or to grate some fresh Parmesan on top. You should experiment, too!
Notes
- Shrimp: This recipe will work with any size shrimp – I usually get large. Some seafood counters sell them already shelled, which is a little more pricy but cuts even more time out of this speedy recipe.
- Corn: The very best choice is fresh corn from your local farm market! You can also usually find fresh corn in the produce section of your supermarket. And in a pinch, you can use frozen. We don’t recommend canned corn for this recipe.
- Herbs: Use your favorite! We love both basil and thyme for this recipe, but fresh oregano, tarragon or even mint will all work.
