My Dad always said about corn "knee high by July." I haven't been in the country in so long. Who knows how the crop is this year? August is the month to test it out. I plan to do that very soon. These 16 recipes and chef's tools cover your bases from appetizers, soup, desserts and everything in between, like Creole Shrimp with Creamed Corn!
Have you ever had grilled Romaine? It's wonderful! This salad couldn't be more elegant looking. Can you imagine what a platter of this looks like?

Skillet Cheesy Corn Dip
I normally don't think of a hot appetizer for Summer, but who would turn down a chip and this dip!
What a handy tool! I have always done it with a knife. Genius!
Sur La Table
Goat Cheese, fresh tomatoes, and basil make this one delicious dish!
Williams Sonoma
These tacos are loaded with juicy barbecue chicken, creamy corn, avocado, cotija cheese, and a touch of chili powder. What a beautiful bite!
Broma Bakery
Now this is a salad! It's all topped off with creamy goat cheese and homemade chimichurri. I am sure that the chimichurri makes this salad.

Now this is a sophisticated dessert! And what a great idea. Corn can be so sweet and creamy, this recipe should work.

Jalapeno Poppers
If you can believe, I have never had a "popper" of any kind. I just don't frequent the kind of restaurants that offer them. But these look interesting. Serve these summery jalapeño poppers with a cooling cilantro-ranch to tame the heat.
Half Baked Harvest
Life is too short to make plain cornbread! This recipe calls for both cheese and corn kernels, the way I like it. The maple syrup adds the
balance to the spice.
Spice Chronicals
A standout on the table! The colors and textures are very appealing. There are so many layers and flavors with ingredients like: crumbled cornbread, chorizo, tomatoes, green peppers, black beans, creamy lime dressing and cilantro. YUM!

Creamed corn is not my thing, but I do make it well for "Mr. Shop This." Add some spices and shrimp, and I am all in. Oh boy! And by the way, this is a light version.
Cooking Light
This just isn't ice cream made with corn, it also features salted caramel swirls and chocolate covered potato chips. It's a sweet and salty trifecta!
How Sweet Eats
My Mom made great corn fritters. These are different and very clever. They are said to be sweet and moist on the inside and super crunchy on
the outside.
Epicurious
In less than an hour you can sit down to this beautiful bowl of corn soup. By the way, Williams Sonoma has an instant pot on sale.
Half Baked Harvest
Who knew a little mayo, lime, and chili powder were the key to the best corn ever? Well, I know this to be true from personal experience. It truly is beyond good.
Delish
I have owned these, but somehow they went missing this year. They are good looking and work well. Now on sale.
Williams Sonoma
Pass the chips please! This salsa will add texture to anything you pair it with. The key to the success of the recipe is ~ the fresher the corn, the better.
