Blackened Shrimp with Edamame Succotash

Since living in Iowa, I can’t get enough sweet corn. It is my favorite summer vegetable (aside from tomatoes) and when it’s in season I make sure to enjoy it as much as possible. In this recipe, I paired it with protein-packed edamame (shelled soybeans), onions and peppers to make a simple succotash. This meal is so fresh and summery and is on the table in less than 15 minutes!

1. Combine the shrimp seasonings in a mixing bowl and add the shrimp. Toss to fully coat the shrimp. Set aside.  

2.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add
the onion, corn, pepper and jalapeno and cook for 3 minutes. Add
edamame, salt and pepper and remove pan from heat. 

3. Coat a separate skillet with cooking spray and turn heat to medium-high. Cook the shrimp in batches until no longer pink. 

4. Plate the succotash and top with shrimp.
