Recipe Review

25th November 2009

aj12754 from Montclair, NJ

This is my go-to summer recipe for easy entertaining. Only five ingredients and all the prep work can be done in advance and the actual cooking time is about 10 minutes. The combination of corn, shrimp, scallions, basil and butter is magical and the dish is beautiful to look at. I generally serve it with an arugula/watermelon/feta salad topped with balsalmic glaze (available at William-Sonoma) and follow it with a dessert of panna cotta and roasted strawberries (Barefoot Contessa has a good one which she adapted from a recipe of Mario Batali). Nothing wrong with wrapping up with a little limoncello.

If you leave out the shrimp you have a delicious side dish.
