- Place the flan dishes in a roasting pan and fill with corn mixture.
- Place the pan in the oven and pour hot water half-way up the sides of the flan dishes.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a knife comes out clen.
- Remove flans from the water bath and cool 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding on serving plates.
- For the shrimp, combine the flour and seasonings in a bowl; add the shrimp and toss well to coat.
- In a large skillet, warm the oil and butter over medium-high heat, add the shrimp and cook just until browned on both sides but not cooked through; transfer to a plate.
