Instructions
1
Preheat Oven and Grease Dish
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using a countertop induction oven, set it to 325°F (165°C) instead. Grease a 9-inch baking dish so nothing sticks.
2
Mix Cornmeal Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and Creole seasoning. Crack in the eggs and add the melted butter, then stir everything together until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the corn, shrimp, 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar, chopped onion, and jalapeño peppers.
3
Bake Until Golden
Pour the batter into your prepared dish, spreading it out evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake until the top turns a nice golden brown, which should take about 25 minutes.
4
Melt Cheese Topping
Once it’s baked, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Cheddar cheese over the top and return it to the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Let it cool and set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a side of green salad or steamed vegetables. It also pairs well with a tangy coleslaw or a drizzle of spicy aioli to add extra flavor. A cold drink like iced tea complements it nicely.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the bread moist. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the shrimp and bread.
