Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 15 ounces hominy (drained and rinsed)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- tortilla chips or crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and smooth. Add the sour cream and mix well.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, continuing to mix until fully melted and incorporated.
Add the cooked shrimp (reserving a few for garnish), hominy, scallions, and optional hot sauce to the cheese mixture. Mix until combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the reserved shrimp and chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with tortilla chips or crusty bread for dipping.
