"Why make plain corn bread when you can make this fancier version with shrimp, Creole seasoning, and Cheddar cheese? This recipe appears on an episode of the Dinner Spinner TV Show on The CW!"
1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (If using a countertop induction oven, preheat to 325 degrees (165 degrees C)). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2Combine cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and Creole seasoning in a bowl. Add eggs and butter; mix until smooth. Fold corn, shrimp, 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, onion, and jalapeno peppers into the batter. Spread in the prepared dish.
3Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
4Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese on top; continue baking until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

Cook's Notes:
Substitute langostino, crawfish, lobster, or prawns for the shrimp if desired. You can also add cooked sausage.
Substitute your favorite semi-hard cheese for the white Cheddar cheese if desired.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper for less heat.
