Savory Shrimp-filled Cornbread Delight
  • Prep Time

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of golden cornmeal
  • A hint of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • A touch of Creole seasoning (like Tony Chachere's®)
  • Half a dozen eggs
  • A generous amount of melted butter (equivalent to 10 tablespoons)
  • A pack of thawed frozen corn (16 ounces)
  • A portion of coarsely chopped cooked shrimp (12 ounces)
  • A pack of shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
  • A cup of finely minced yellow onion
  • Two large jalapeno peppers, finely minced
  • A sprinkle of shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (2 tablespoons)

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), or if using a countertop induction oven, set it to 325 degrees (165 degrees C). Don't forget to give a 9-inch baking dish a good greasing to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, blend together cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and a touch of zesty Creole seasoning. Stir in eggs and butter, mixing until the batter is silky smooth. Next, gently fold in corn, succulent shrimp, a generous amount of Cheddar cheese, diced onion, and spicy jalapeno peppers to create a flavorful mixture. Spread this delightful concoction in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake until the top turns a beautiful golden brown, typically around 25 minutes. For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cheddar cheese on top and continue baking until it melts and bubbles, usually 2 to 3 minutes more.

Step 4

Once done, allow the dish to cool and set for about 10 minutes before slicing into it for a scrumptious meal.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your shrimp fresh by storing them in a sealed container with a damp paper towel to maintain their moisture.
  2. 2. Store your cornbread in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out, or wrap it in foil for longer-lasting freshness.
  3. 3. For the ultimate flavor boost, store your shrimp-filled cornbread in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for a crispy crust.
