Corn Cakes

Method

Corn Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn Cake Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in corn kernels and green onions.

  2. 2

    Cook the Corn Cakes

    Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each cake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all batter is used.

Chipotle Butter

  1. 3

    Make Chipotle Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced chipotle, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set aside.

Salsa Fresca

  1. 4

    Prepare Salsa Fresca

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let flavors meld.

Guacamole

  1. 5

    Make Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados. Stir in lime juice, salt, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato. Mix until smooth but still chunky.

Jumbo Prawns

  1. 6

    Cook the Jumbo Prawns

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add prawns, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until prawns turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
