Creole-Seasoned Grilled Shrimp with Corn Maque Choux

Cooking Instructions

Preheat grill.

Toss shrimp with olive oil and season with Creole seasoning blend. Grill shrimp on lightly oiled rack until pink and just opaque in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes.

To prepare corn maque choux, cut kernels of corn from the cobs and reserve. Sauté garlic and onion in butter in a medium sauté pan over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the okra and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the corn and 1/2 cup water and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes, green onions and season to taste with Creole seasoning.
