Shrimp and Sweet Corn Maque Choux

A spicy Southern dish, Shrimp & Sweet Corn Maque Choux is satisfying and ready in under 30 minutes. This is my recreation of the Emeril Lagasse dish we had his restaurant, NOLA, in New Orleans. Fresh vegetables are the key to this recipe, which cook quickly and retain their bright, crisp flavors.

Step: 1

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot, red and green peppers, and green onion. Season with salt and pepper, and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step: 2

Add zucchini, sweet corn, water and 2 teaspoons Cajun or creole seasoning to the skillet. Cook until zucchini is tender, about 2 minutes. Add half and half, and stir. Turn off heat.

Step: 3

Meanwhile, season shrimp with remaining 2 teaspoons Cajun or creole seasoning. Melt butter in a separate skillet and cook shrimp in four batches, about 2 minutes on each side, or until curled, pink and cooked all the way through. Do not overcook.

Step: 4

Divide corn mixture between four plates. Top each plate with 5 cooked shrimp, and serve immediately.

It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really will the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , overeating or eating too much of the bad item of food will make lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is not eating to much food than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
