SHRIMP WITH SWEET CORN SAUCE
This is a delightful dish from Taste of the Caribbean by Rosamund Grant. This comes together quickly (after marination) and can easily be made as mild or spicy as your family likes. Note: the original recipe calls for marinating the shrimp using "spice seasoning" - I used garam masala, but I'm sure other spice combinations that you like would be good. I also added a whisper of cayenne to the mix before serving, and will probably add a whole jalapeno next time instead of a half as called for. I have also made this with chicken, which was also very good. Prep time includes marination time.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the shrimp with garam masala (or spices of choice) and lemon juice and let marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour. (When I made this with chicken, I used a Cajun mix rather than the garam masala).
- Melt the butter in a pan and fry onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, till slightly softened.
- Add the shrimp and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally till cooked through and pink.
- Transfer the shrimp, onions and garlic to a bowl, leaving some of the buttery liquid in the pan.
- Add the tomato paste and cook over low heat, stirring.
- Add the thyme, cinnamon and cilantro and jalapeno to the pan and stir well. (Keep warm over low heat).
- Blend the corn (reserving about 1 T) in a blender or food processor with the coconut milk.
- Add to the pan and simmer till reduced.
- Add the shrimp and reserved corn and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.

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.
