Recipe: Grilled Corn on the Cob

A traditional (we believe the best) seafood side is to add corn on the cob.

Do-It-Yourself has never tasted so good as with a selection of Maryland Seafood. A traditional (we believe the best) seafood side is to add corn on the cob. Don’t forget to “eat your vegetables.” Grilling instead of steaming/boiling adds a nice dimension. Here’s what it takes…

Steamed Crabs and Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

  • Corn on the cob – the fresher, the better. Buy it from a local farmer if possible.

Directions:

  1. Husk the corn, cover it in olive oil and cook in a separate grill pan for about 20 minutes until the corn is tender.

Variations:

  • To make your grilled corn on the cob even better…in a bowl large enough to hold the corn and be able to mix it around (such as a large flat pasta bowl), melt enough butter to cover the corn and squeeze a lime into the butter. Mix the butter and lime juice together and add a touch of salt. Thrown the corn in the bowl and roll it around and serve!

Enjoy:

  • Let any leftover (steamed or grilled) corn on the cob stand for later in the evening. Simply cover the ears to keep them from drying out. Cold corn on the cob is sweet and makes a great snack. It doesn’t need anything – except maybe a small amount of salt and/or pepper.

Recipe: Crab Stuffed Flounder

Combining two favorites into one dish – crab meat and flounder.

Do-It-Yourself has never tasted so good as when you combine two favorites into one. Crab meat is used to “stuff” a variety of seafood. Flounder is a great fish to enhance with crab meat. Here’s what it takes…

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Follow the recipe for Maryland Style Crab Cakes
  2. Use a knife to carefully separate the flounder by cutting along the seam to make a nice pocket in the flounder.
  3. Spoon the Maryland Style Crab Cake mixture into the pocket of the flounder.
  4. Use cooking spray to coat a glass baking dish and place the stuffed flounder in the baking dish.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes then turn the oven to broil for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Maryland Style Crab Cake Balls? Yes! If you have leftover crab cake mix, go ahead and roll it into little crab cake balls to broil for that 5 minutes and use as an appetizer!

Variations:

  • There are a number of ways to make crab stuffed flounder. In some Crab Stuffed Flounder the crab mixture is thin and in some it is thick but the BEST way to make it is to stick with what you already KNOW is great! Think of the old saying, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it!
