Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 bunch scallions (about 7), thinly sliced into rounds, white and light-green parts separated from dark-green tops

1 small red onion, chopped (1 cup)

1 pound mild to moderately spicy peppers, such as bell, Anaheim, cherry, padron, and sweet habanero; stems, ribs, and seeds removed, chopped (2 1/2 cups)

2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)

5 thyme sprigs

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

4 ears corn, kernels and corn milk stripped (about 3 cups total)

1/3 cup dry vermouth

      Cook's Notes

To extract corn milk after stripping the kernels, place the tip of each cob in a small bowl and hold the stem end. Starting from the top, scrape the cob firmly down with a spoon, toward the tip. Rotate slightly and continue scraping all the way around.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 bunch scallions (about 7), thinly sliced into rounds, white and light-green parts separated from dark-green tops
  • 1 small red onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 pound mild to moderately spicy peppers, such as bell, Anaheim, cherry, padron, and sweet habanero; stems, ribs, and seeds removed, chopped (2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)
  • 5 thyme sprigs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 ears corn, kernels and corn milk stripped (about 3 cups total)
  • 1/3 cup dry vermouth
  • 1 cup fish or seafood stock, or clam juice
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions

Melt butter in a large straight-sided skillet or wide, shallow pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion white and light-green parts, onion, peppers, celery, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring a few times, until vegetables are crisp-tender and golden in places, 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in corn kernels and milk, then vermouth; boil until liquid has mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in stock, cream, and shrimp. Bring to a simmer (but do not let boil), reducing heat as necessary, and cook until shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Discard thyme sprigs, stir in dark-green scallion tops, and serve.

      Cook's Notes

To extract corn milk after stripping the kernels, place the tip of each cob in a small bowl and hold the stem end. Starting from the top, scrape the cob firmly down with a spoon, toward the tip. Rotate slightly and continue scraping all the way around.
