Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra virgin olive oil as needed
2 tablespoons chopped shallot or onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears corn)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into eighths
Freshly squeezed lemon juice as needed
1 1/2 pounds cooked lobster meat or shrimp, cut into chunks, at room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Chopped fresh parsley leaves or chives

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; a minute later, add shallot or onion and garlic; cook for a minute, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add thyme and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until corn begins to brown and tastes cooked; season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper; taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, olive oil, salt or pepper as needed.
  • Make a bed of corn on each of 4 plates, then top with a portion of tomatoes and their juices, and lobster or shrimp. Sprinkle with a bit more lemon juice and olive oil, the lemon zest and the parsley or chives, and serve.
