 Tomato-Garlic Shrimp over Creamy Corn

Ingredients

3 ears fresh corn (or 3 cups frozen whole kernel corn)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
3 oz queso fresco (or ricotta) cheese
1 lb jumbo, peeled/deveined shrimp (tails off)
1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic/herb seasoning
2 tablespoons lemon herb finishing butter

Prep

  • Slice corn from cobs (3 cups).
  • Chop onion and tomatoes.

Steps

  1. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add onions, salt, and pepper; cook and stir 2–3 minutes or until tender. Stir in corn; cook 2–3 minutes or until corn is tender.
  2. Transfer mixture to food processor (or blender); add sour cream and cheese, then blend until smooth.
  3. Heat same pan on medium-high 1–2 minutes. Place remaining 2 tablespoons oil in pan, then add shrimp and garlic/herb seasoning; cook and stir 3–4 minutes or just until shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  4. Remove pan from heat; stir in butter until melted. Serve shrimp over creamy corn; top with tomatoes. Serve.

 Maple Sticky Bread

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 (12-oz) Bakery baguette or French bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
4 oz Deli Brie cheese

Prep

  • Coat baking sheet with spray.
  • Cut eight (1/2-inch-thick) slices from bread.

Steps

  1. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium 1–2 minutes. Place butter in pan to melt. Add syrup and bring to a simmer.
  2. Add bread, turning immediately to coat both sides; cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until bread is browned (bread will be sticky; syrup will be absorbed). Transfer bread to baking sheet.
  3. Cut Brie into 8 thin, bite-size slices. Arrange cheese slices on bread; let stand 2–3 minutes to harden. Serve.

Aprons Advice

  • Complete your meal with fresh salad blend and layer cake for dessert.
  • It’s very important to coat the baking sheet with spray to prevent the bread from sticking. The outside of the bread will be very hot and caramel-like. Be sure to let it cool before eating.
