Summer’s end is quickly approaching and I still have so much more to do. Yes, we are still fighting rabbits but their numbers have decreased considerably thanks to rabbit catcher. Our yard is looking fairly good thanks to his hard work and my suggestions?. Though we didn’t have a garden this year, hopefully next year will bring better things into our life and our mouths!
Yesterday I went to the local botanic garden and it was looking good. Summer colors were still abounding and I love taking pictures of flowers. They are so much easier to take than food. It is hard to make a flower look bad. I secretly think the flower knows this, too!
But quickly, before summer’s over and the corn season has escaped us I need to share this with you. I discovered this recipe a few years back and since it contains like, really all of my favorite ingredients, it quickly became a favorite of mine. I can’t wait to try some new versions of it, but somehow it is hard to get past this one. It is simple and quick and those two words are a really good team, aren’t they?
It is a dish full of flavor, perfect for company or family and rich with the flavors of corn and chipotle. Shrimp thrives on these two flavors so combine them together and you have a great taste of summer. Add a salad and some homemade cornbread and you have a perfect meal. I say get it while you can!

This looks amazing, but I hate mayo, is there anything else you think I could substitute for it? I hate to miss out on this dish!

Carrie try using one egg beaten and then dip the shrimp and roll them in the panko crumbs. You could also try yogurt or sour cream but I think the egg would be better. Even a bbq sauce might work. Just something that would allow the crumbs to stick to the shrimp! Thanks for asking. Enjoy! And thanks for visiting! Stop by any time!
