Sweet Corn Curry with Grilled Shrimp … Sweet corn season is in full swing. Summer sweet corn is one of my favorite veggies.We have many recipes for sweet corn at What the Forks for Dinner? With a local grower Selmi’s ,we are assured the best sweet corn. If you are ever in the area stop by… you won’t be disappointed.
From relish to risotto…….on the cob or off, sweet corn is the quintessential summer veggie staple. Spicy Fresh Corn Relish and Creamy Sweet Corn Risotto
Looking for a new way to jazz up sweet corn…..it’s perfect on it’s own, but everything could stand a little jazzing up sometimes. Curry??? Why not?
Curry being an umbrella term for dishes that traditionally are from India. The main spices in curry are coriander, cumin, ginger, chiles, and turmeric. Curry dishes may or may not have meat…..ours does.
Dry curries, which are cooked with very little liquid and that liquid is allowed to evaporate leaving the dish coated with the spice mixture.
Wet curries such as Sweet Corn Curry with Grilled Shrimp have a lot of sauce with a base of yogurt, cream, or as I did, coconut milk. Who doesn’t love sauce???
Using that delicious sweet corn and adding onion, jalapeño (Tim…. spice…enough said), garlic, ginger, and curry powder, I added in tomatoes and coconut milk. Then simmered into a beautiful sweet spicy wet curry.
I used cherry tomatoes from my garden…….to say I have an abundance is an understatement…..look for more recipes with cherry tomatoes soon.
If you are vegan/vegetarian you can stop with the Sweet Corn Curry and have a wonderful dish, but Tim and I like meat…well in this case seafood. Vegan is not for us.
I grilled shrimp, seasoned with a touch of curry powder. Simply place the peeled deveined shrimp with curry powder and a bit of oil in a plastic bag and smooshed it around….again smooshed is a cooking term…..lol
Rice is a traditional accompaniment for curry. I used cauliflower rice. I love, love, love this stuff. You can buy it fresh or frozen already rice, or buy a head of cauliflower and rice your own. Being of the lazy, hating to clean up club….. I buy it already riced.
Bowl meals are all the rage and Sweet Corn Curry with Grilled Shrimp covers that trend. Place all the segments of the recipe in a nice bowl and serve.
Curry up and get your self some of summers bounty…. Sweet Corn Curry with Grilled Shrimp
