Ingredients:
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 0.5 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 0.5 medium green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 2 cups sweet corn, fresh or frozen

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided

  • 20 jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
Instructions:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, shallot, and green onion and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are soft, around 5 minutes.
