Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Seasonings

  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1.5 teaspoon chipotle chili powder plus more for serving
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream

Vegetables

  • 2 (10-oz.) bags frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Fats

  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter divided

Other

  • cup water
  • 3 tablespoon crumbled cotija
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, toss shrimp, lime zest, chili powder, and 1 tsp. salt.
  • In a small bowl, stir lime juice, mayonnaise, and sour cream; set crema aside.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Add corn in a single layer; season with ½ tsp. salt. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  • Add jalapeño and white scallion parts. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more; season with remaining ½ tsp. salt.
  • Add water to deglaze pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Push corn mixture to one side of skillet and add remaining 1 Tbsp. butter. Once butter is melted, add shrimp; it’s okay if some shrimp overlap.
  • Cook, turning halfway through, until pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total. Stir shrimp and corn together to combine.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Stir in ½ cup reserved crema. Top with cotija, cilantro, green scallion parts, and more chili powder.
  • Serve with tortillas and remaining crema alongside.
