This recipe is adapted from Cuisine at Home. It is really relative easy to make and the presentation is so elegant. The original recipe called for fresh corn; however, I made it using frozen corn that had been defrosted. Ingredients:
2 cups corn kernels (defrosted if frozen) |
1 cup half-and-half |
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
3 eggs |
2 egg yolks |
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 pinch white pepper |
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left on |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons paprika |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
fresh chives, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Coat six 4-oz flan molds with nonstick spray or olive oil.
3. Blend corn, half and half and feta in a blender until almost smooth.
4. Add the eggs, yolks, salt and pepper pulsing to combine.
5. Place the flan dishes in a roasting pan and fill with corn mixture.
6. Place the pan in the oven and pour hot water half-way up the sides of the flan dishes.
7. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a knife comes out clen.
8. Remove flans from the water bath and cool 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding on serving plates.
9. For the shrimp, combine the flour and seasonings in a bowl; add the shrimp and toss well to coat.
10. In a large skillet, warm the oil and butter over medium-high heat, add the shrimp and cook just until browned on both sides but not cooked through; transfer to a plate.
11. Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of pan.
12. Simmer until reduced by half, approximately 2 to 4 minutes; add the broth and simmer an additional 2 to 4 minutes.
13. Add shrimp back to pan and cook until firm and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
14. Stir in butter and let melt; spoon the shrimp and sauce over unmolded flans; garnish with chopped chives.
