Crisp Chipotle Shrimp with Corn and Scallions

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 475°F.

   Step 2

   Stir together mayonnaise, chipotle with adobo sauce, and salt in a bowl.

   Step 3

   Pulse 1 1/2 cups corn in a food processor with water and 2 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise until coarsely puréed. Transfer mixture to a shallow 2-quart gratin dish. Stir in scallions and remaining corn.

   Step 4

   Toss shrimp with remaining chipotle mayonnaise in bowl to coat.

   Step 5

   Put 1 cup panko in another bowl, then add shrimp in small batches, tossing to coat evenly and shaking off excess (add more panko if needed). Arrange shrimp in 1 layer on top of corn. Roast until crumbs are golden and shrimp are just cooked through, about 18 minutes.
