You don’t have to go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy amazing seafood recipes like this spicy shrimp.

I got so excited telling you about our favorite shrimp that I almost forgot about our delicious recipe!

We started with my Mom’s recipe for skillet corn (creamed fresh corn) as the base and topped it with a super simple, pan sautéed spicy shrimp, tomato and green onion mixture. You know how summer corn is so sweet it tastes like it has sugar sprinkled on top? Well, it’s perfect combined with these buttery, spicy shrimp.

Our Spicy Shrimp and Fried Corn is a nod to traditional shrimp and grits, but so much better.

Next, the shrimp is well seasoned with your favorite spicy blend, like Old Bay, or Tony Chachere’s. Personally we’re addicted to dry Sriracha Seasoning so that’s what we’ve used here.

If you haven’t picked up a jar yet, please do and try this super easy, spicy and flavorful dish. Spicy and sweet, fresh and healthy – what more could we want from an super easy recipe?!

Thanks for PINNING!
