Coconut milk is made from shredded coconut that is simmered in water and then strained to make a creamy liquid. It should not be confused with coconut cream, which has less water, or with sweetened cream of coconut. Reduced-fat coconut milk contains thickeners and other additives; it's best to use small amounts of regular coconut milk instead.

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, red-pepper flakes, and coarse salt; cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add water and thawed frozen corn kernels. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until corn is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer 1 1/2 cups corn and onions to a blender. Add coconut milk; blend until smooth.
- To pan, add red snapper fillets. Simmer until opaque throughout, about 5 minutes. Return corn puree to pan. Break up fish with a spoon; heat until just warmed through (do not boil).
- Remove from heat; stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if desired.
