Servings: persons

5 (2 cups pulp and juice) ears of corn, shucked and coarsely grated on a box grater
1/4 cup milk, plus more for stirring
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup unsweetened roasted pecan butter, (see Note)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 ounces country ham or prosciutto, thinly sliced, cut into strips
1/2 (large) sweet onion, thinly sliced
6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 cup (from 2 ears) fresh corn kernels
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound (large) shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 cup lager

1
In a saucepan, simmer the grated corn and juices with the 1/4 cup of milk over moderate heat, stirring, until thick, 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the pecan butter; keep warm.
2
In a large, deep skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Add the ham and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, snap peas and corn, season with salt and pepper and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they just begin to curl, about 3 minutes. Add the lager and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are cooked through and the liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
3
Whisk a little milk into the grits so it's the consistency of polenta; heat until warm. Spoon the grits into shallow bowls, top with the shrimp saute and serve at once.
