Mexican Corn Salsa Recipe Recipe For Shrimp

SWEET CORN AND SHRIMP TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sweet corn slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, paprika, lime zest and juice, mayonnaise, crema, and cotija cheese. Toss until well combined.
• Make the shrimp tacos: In a medium bowl, combine the red cabbage, juice of 1 lime, and ½ teaspoon salt. Toss until well combined and set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the black pepper, oregano, chili powder, cumin, garlic, lime zest, remaining lime juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil until well coated.
• Heat the remaining 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the tortillas until lightly crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and cover with foil to keep warm until ready to assemble the tacos.
• In the same skillet, cook the shrimp, 8-10 at a time, until pink and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Assemble the tacos: Top each crispy tortilla with some of the red cabbage, sweet corn slaw, and shrimp. Garnish with cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

MEXICAN SALSA II

• Place roma tomatoes, serrano peppers, onion, cilantro and garlic in a blender or food processor. Puree about 30 seconds, or to desired consistency. Transfer to a medium serving bowl, and salt to taste.

SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Stir the salad shrimp, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic together in a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the flavors combine, at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

SHRIMP CAKES WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Coarsely chop the raw shrimp and put them in a bowl. Mix in the onion, red pepper, serrano, and cumin. Add the egg, bread crumbs, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and form into 8 (2-inch) patties about 3/4-inch thick. Put the patties on an oiled platter, and refrigerate about 1 hour, or up to 6 hours before cooking. 2. In a large skillet, heat the oil until it shimmers, and cook the patties over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the patties, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until completely cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Put 2 patties on each of 4 plates. Put a dollop of crema or sour cream on top of the patties. Put about 2 tablespoons of corn salsa on the side of each serving. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

MEXICAN SEAFOOD SAUTé WITH AVOCADO-MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• For salsa:
• Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
• For seafood:
• Whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Season marinade to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place shrimp in large resealable plastic bag. Place scallops in another large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into bags, dividing equally (about 1/2 cup each). Seal bags; turn to coat. Chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Drain shrimp and scallops; pour marinade into small saucepan. Bring marinade to boil; set aside.
• Pat scallops dry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to skillet and sauté until beginning to brown, about 11/2 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add shrimp and green onions; sauté until shrimp are almost opaque in center, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Return scallops with any accumulated juices to skillet. Add boiled marinade. Simmer until seafood is just opaque in center and mixture is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to large shallow bowl. Garnish with lime slices. Serve with salsa.
• What to drink:
• Mexican beer is a natural match for this menu. We like Bohemia ($8 per six-pack) because it's refreshing, crisp, and slightly spicy.
