SPICY FRESH CORN SALAD



Spicy Fresh Corn Salad image

I was gifted some Cajun-flavored mayonnaise and wasn't sure what to do with it until I spotted fresh corn at the grocery store. I thought the sweetness of the corn would contrast nicely with the spicy mayonnaise, and I was right! Serve with grilled or fried shrimp, or with any summery chicken dish.

CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO



Corn Salad With Tomatoes, Basil and Cilantro image

High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears of corn
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 lime
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1/4 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or other very hot chile (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
  • Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

SUMMER SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH TOMATOES AND CORN



Summer Shrimp Scampi With Tomatoes and Corn image

Shrimp get along well with garlic, butter and lemon, and so do tomatoes and corn. Combine them, and you get a summery shrimp scampi that comes together in one skillet. A searing hot pan helps the tomatoes blister and the corn caramelize before they are coated in a garlic-lemon butter sauce. This is a meal in and of itself, but if you want to serve it with pasta or bread, they'd be welcome additions.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, weekday, seafood, vegetables, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 4 ears)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon), plus wedges for serving (optional)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
3 tablespoons chopped parsley or chives, or torn basil leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the shrimp very dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and lightly golden in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate.
  • Add the tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until they start to blister in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring just once or twice, until the tomatoes burst and the corn is golden in spots, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until you smell garlic, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium, and add the wine and lemon juice, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until nearly evaporated, then add the butter and stir until melted. Add the shrimp and its juices and stir until warmed through. (If the sauce breaks and looks greasy, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water and stir until emulsified.)
  • Remove from heat, add the herbs, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with extra lemon for squeezing over, if you like.

SPICY SHRIMP WITH BLISTERED CUCUMBERS, CORN AND TOMATO



Spicy Shrimp With Blistered Cucumbers, Corn and Tomato image

When warm weather arrives, the best recipes are the simple ones that allow seasonal produce to shine. In this recipe, shrimp gets a quick marinade in lime juice, ginger and garlic while the rest of the salad is assembled. Pan-searing cucumbers and corn deepens their flavor and adds a pleasant contrast to the fresh tomatoes. The Thai-style vinaigrette adds zingy brightness. Serve this salad over rice studded with mint and scallions, or as a side dish to grilled steak or pork. The shrimp and the dressing (minus the chives) can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a day or so in advance, just be sure to bring them to room temperature before tossing everything together.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 large garlic clove, grated
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1 serrano or Fresno chile, thinly sliced, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives or scallions, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon fish sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon light brown sugar, plus more to taste
2 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped seedless cucumber (such as English or Persian), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups raw corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
1/4 cup cilantro (optional), leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
Flaky sea salt (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus the ginger and garlic; season well with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, toss to coat and set aside.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup lime juice with the chile, chives, fish sauce and brown sugar until it dissolves. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the tomatoes and shallot and set aside.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and when it shimmers, add the cucumbers and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the vegetables to cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown and caramelize in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then toss with the tomato-shallot mixture and half the dressing.
  • Wipe out the pan and heat over medium-high. Leaving the marinade behind and discarding it, add shrimp to the pan and sear until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes each side. Alternatively, grill over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Add the shrimp to the salad, gently toss to coat and serve on a large platter or in a large bowl. Drizzle with remaining dressing and scatter with cilantro and flaky sea salt, if using.
