Amount Ingredient
3 med fresh corn ears shucked, and
kernels removed from the cob
1 x brine-packed roasted red pepper - (5 oz) drained, and
coarsely chopped
1 sm white onion chopped
1/4 med jicama - (abt 4 oz) peeled, and
cut into julienne strips
1/4 tsp cumin seed
1 x garlic clove minced
2 tbl olive oil
2 tbl fresh lime juice
1 x fresh jalapeno chile pepper seeded, and
finely minced
1 lb peeled cooked large shrimp thawed if frozen
2 lrg ripe peaches
1 head radicchio separated into
leaves
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs for garnish
(cilantro, chervil, basil, mint, or flat-leaf parsley)
Instructions:
Instructions: In a medium pot of boiling water, blanch the corn kernels for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under running cold water. Put the corn in a large bowl; add the roasted pepper, onion, and jicama.

In a small skillet, toast the cumin seeds over medium heat, stirring constantly until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the seeds from the skillet, let cool slightly, then crush them with a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder.

In a glass measure, combine crushed umin seeds, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and jalapeno. Whisk to combine.

Lay the thawed shrimp in a shallow dish and pour on the cumin-olive oil mixture. Toss to coat. (Salad can be made ahead up to this point, each part covered, and refrigerated.)

Wash and peel the peaches (if necessary, dip the peaches in boiling water for 1 minute to facilitate removing the skin). Cut in half and remove the pits. Slice into wedges and add to the salad bowl.

When ready to serve, arrange 2 or 3 radicchio leaves on individual dinner plates. Toss the corn-peach mixture and spoon onto the leaves.

Arrange the shrimp over the salad and spoon on any remaining dressing.

If desired, garnish with chopped herbs. Season with pepper.
