Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 1 lime zest from 1 lime
  • 1.5 tsp. chipotle chili powder plus more for serving
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt divided
  • 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter divided
  • 2 10-oz. bags frozen corn kernels thawed
  • 1 jalapeño seeded, finely chopped
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • cup water
  • 3 Tbsp. crumbled cotija
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 corn tortillas warmed

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • In a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Add corn in a single layer; season with ½ tsp. salt. Cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes, then 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 bottom of 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.
