Shrimp & Oven Roasted Corn

 

Corn Directions:

Preheat oven to 400!  
Very generously season 5 or more cobs with kosher salt and pepper.  Add a pat of butter to the tops and roast on a small jellyroll pan (lined with nonstick foil) for 30-40 minutes, or until starting to brown!  While it’s cooking,  turn the corn occasionally.  Cool and cut kernels off cob for the recipe below.  Can use the cobs to make this amazing corn stock.

Shrimp Ingredients:

 

2 pounds shrimp, cleaned, deveined, tails removed
1 Tablespoon butter and 1 Tablespoon avocado or olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup stock/broth (I used homemade corn stock but you could use chicken broth)
2/3 cup white wine
juice from 1 lemon and zest from one half of the lemon

kernels from 5 cobs, roasted in oven (directions above)

Directions:
Heat 1 Tablespoon butter and oil in a skillet and melt on medium heat.  Add the garlic until fragrant.  Add the shrimp ad generously salt and pepper them.  Cook a few minutes on both sides (seasoning both sides) until cooked through and remove to a plate.  Put heat on high and add broth/stock, wine, lemon zest and lemon juice.  Bring to a boil and lower to simmer a few minutes.  Add the corn in.  Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper to taste.  Return shrimp to pan until heated through.
