Steps:
- Put the shrimp in a large bowl of ice water. Add 1 tablespoon salt; stir to dissolve and set aside 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and all but a few tablespoons of the scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn starts browning, about 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup water and the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the corn is very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, rosemary and the remaining garlic in another large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Drain the shrimp, pat dry and add to the skillet. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter; swirl to melt. Cook, spooning the liquid over the shrimp, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve the shrimp over the corn mixture; top with the reserved scallions. Serve with the bread and lemon wedges.

EASY CAJUN SHRIMP WITH CORN FLAPJACKS
Easy and delicious, modified from Rachael Ray's Everyday magazine to make it a little easier. You could also just make the shrimp and sauce to serve over rice, but I recommend trying the flapjacks. The results are a little spicy and a little sweet.

This was so simple and tasty with just the right amount of heat. I served it with a pre-packaged Cajun style rice but it would be great with white rice also.
