Ingredients
- 24 large shrimp, cooked
- 24 fresh coriander
- Guacamole:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp minced jalapeño peppers
- 1 tbsp lime juice or lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 small ripe avocado
- Cornmeal Pancakes:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cornmeal
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2/3 cup milk
- 4 tsp vegetable oil
Preparation
Cornmeal Pancakes: In bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together egg yolk, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until a few lumps remain.
Using scant 1 tbsp (15 mL) batter for each pancake and brushing skillet with oil as necessary, cook pancakes over medium heat until bottoms are golden and bubbles break on tops, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until bottoms are golden, about 1 minute. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
Guacamole: In bowl, combine garlic, jalape?epper, lime juice, salt and pepper. Peel, pit and dice avocado; add to bowl and mash until slightly chunky. (Make-ahead: Add pit to guacamole; cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.) Spoon about 1 tsp (5 mL) onto each pancake; top with shrimp and coriander leaf.
