    Maggie's Shrimp & Corn w/ Basil

    Source of Recipe

    Maggie's blog "Cheap & Cheerful"

    Recipe Introduction

    Originally from epicurious.com, this is a wonderful blend that is much greater than the sum of it�s parts. It is simply shrimp, scallions and corn cut off the cob saut�ed in butter and topped with fresh basil. That�s it � 5 ingredients. It couldn�t be more fresh tasting � summer on a plate. I find the taste of raw onions unpleasant, so I saut�ed the scallions with the corn and shrimp. Serve plenty of good, crusty bread with this.

    List of Ingredients

    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    Kernels & 'milk' from 2 ears corn
    1/2 pound shelled large shrimp
    4 scallions, chopped
    1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

    Recipe

    Melt the butter in a large non-stick saut� pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, 'milk' and shrimp and, tossing often, cook until the shrimp are cooked through - about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and the basil and serve immediately.

    Serves 2
