I came across this dish for shrimp, chanterelle mushroom and corn pasta a while ago. It looked similar to Chanterelle and Corn Risotto with Scallops that I made and really enjoyed not too long ago. I wanted to try cooking with chanterelle mushrooms again and I hardly needed an excuse to make another dish with shrimp in. Corn season was long gone so I did not have access to fresh corn on the cob. I ended up forgetting to get the chives and so I replaced them with some dill that I had on hand. It turned out to be really good. The sweetness of the corn balanced the saltiness of the pancetta and mushrooms fried in butter. The cream made the pasta nice a creamy and the dill actually went pretty well in the dish. Of course the prawns were nice and juicy and succulent.

So funny, Kevin. I was just digging in, eyeing that photo, reading the caption thinking “that’s funny, that looks like the dish I created a while back.” And then I floated over your link, and, voila! It IS the dish I created a while back! Glad you liked it . . . I hope you were able to find a bottle of Calcaire to pair with it, it was one of the best matches I’ve had in ages.
Cheers!

Sometimes I think Ambrosia is best defined as Pasta+Shrimp+Cream.

I love the combination of the slightly salty pancetta with the sweetness of the shrimp…
Any left?
