This recipe is inspired by our friend Hal Holden-Bache, of Nashville restaurant Lockeland Table. He makes the best creamy corn sauce served over pasta, topped with cornbread and bacon crumbles. Our recipe is a little lighter and quick to make. The corn and onions make the sauce naturally sweet, which is such a nice contrast to briny shrimp and fresh herbs.
