dsc07841.JPG
this is the simplest recipe ever but it was actually quite tasty. we used frozen shrimp and frozen corn from trader joe’s (which is really sweet, by the way). i also didn’t have scallions, so i just seasoned it with some garlic salt. we ate this over rice, but i think it would be good tossed with some pasta too.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kernels from 2 ears corn
1/2 lb. shelled large shrimp
4 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

Directions
Melt butter with olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté corn and shrimp, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in scallions and basil and season with salt and pepper.
