01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using a countertop induction oven, set it to 325°F (165°C) instead. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish so nothing sticks.

Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and Creole seasoning. Crack in the eggs and add the melted butter, stirring everything together until the batter is nice and smooth. Then gently fold in the corn, shrimp, 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and jalapeno peppers, making sure they’re evenly mixed throughout.

Step 3
Pour the batter into your prepared dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown. Once it looks good, sprinkle 2 more tablespoons of Cheddar cheese on top and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes so the cheese melts perfectly.

Step 4
Take it out and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set up nicely and makes it easier to serve. Enjoy!
