Moo's Corn Crepes with Chili Butter

2 cups white cornmeal
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
3 T all-purpose flour
1 t. salt
3 T scallions, minced
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup corn nibblets, pureed
1/2 cup olive oil
3 T melted butter

Filling
1 1/2 pounds of cooked shrimp
2 1/2 T chopped chilies
1/2 pound of shredded Jack cheese

Chili Butter
1 cup softened butter
1 1/2 T chilies
1/2 pound cooked shrimp

Sift dry ingredients, including salt into a large bowl. Stir in onion, buttermilk egg, oil and butter. Fold in pureed corn. Heat crepe pan and brush lightly with olive oil (or spray with olive oil Pam). Pour 1/4 cup of batter into hot crepe pan and swirl to cover evenly. Return to heat and cook until golden on both sides. Crepes may be kept in 200 degree oven.

Puree chili butter ingredients.

Toss shrimp, chopped chilies and cheese to make filling. Place a liberal amount of filling in crepes, roll and heat. When ready to serve, spread chili butter liberally on each crepe and serve with your favorite combination of toppings: guacamole, ranchero sauce, sour cream, chives and coriander.
