Sizzling Shrimp with Corn Relish
Adapted from Cooking Light September 2008
Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup chopped shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoon minced jalapeño pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined medium shrimp
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Preparation
The sweetness of the fresh corn and the saltiness of the fish sauce worked wonderfully together. I served it over a bed of fresh spinach, but it could have been served over brown rice for a more hearty alternative. This dish had a Thai flavor that was very satisfying and different. I will be adding this easy and fast meal to my rotation for sure (Who am I kidding? What rotation? I can't tell you the last time I cooked the same thing twice - but if I had one, I would definitely add this recipe!)
1. Take corn off the cob using your new corn zipper you received for your birthday from your mom.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients; set aside.
3. Heat a 14-inch wok over high heat. Add oil to wok, swirling to coat. Add shallots, garlic, and jalapeño to wok; stir-fry 30 seconds or just until shallots begin to brown.
Add shrimp to wok;
stir-fry 3 minutes or until shrimp are done. Add corn; stir-fry 1 minute or just until corn is heated.
Stir in juice mixture;
sprinkle with cilantro (which I forgot to sprinkle on before the pictures were taken - oops.)

This looks absolutely fabulous... We love shrimp and corn and my husband is a cilantro FREAK!!!
Ok....
1. I'm totally jealous of your corn zipper. I want one!
and 2. I hear on the absence of a recipe rotation. I always say "Next time I make this, I'll.." and my husband just laughs and says "Yeah right. You know you don't make things more than once." :)
This looks like a great recipe and gives me another reason to play with my wok :)
Corn Zipper? You've been holding out. This meal looks fantastic! I'll bet it was the lime and cilantro that lent the Thai flavor!
Corn Zipper? Something I never knew I needed! What a cool little tool. I love fresh corn and cilantro. I'll definitely be trying this!
Three cheers for the sous chef! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!
It was a very good meal and I enjoy cooking with my wife very much.
I soooo want that peeler!
I'm printing out this recipe! My Twins boys LOVE shrimp! It's their fave protein! The only one they don't mind eating more than once a week.
Thanks for passing along the recipe & sharing all the great photos!
