Shrimp With Roasted Corn, Leeks, Tomatoes, and Basil

Showcasing late-summer produce, this simple sauté is a perfect shoulder-season weeknight dinner. Marinating sweet cherry tomatoes in vinegar and salt tenderizes them and draws out their juices, creating a light sauce. "I love how quickly this dish comes together!" says chef Cassidee Dabney of The Barn at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee, who shared this recipe with Food & Wine. "If you have the leeks and corn prepped ahead of time, you can have this dish finished and on the table in about 15 minutes. It's convenient and delicious and just begging to be enjoyed alfresco with a glass of white wine. It's an ideal dish for a casual dinner party with friends. Another tip: Use the best shrimp available. Chat with your local fish market and find quality product — you'll taste the difference."
