Shrimp & Corn Stir-Fry

I make this seafood stir-fry at summer’s end when my garden has plenty of tomatoes, squash, garlic and corn. For a quick supper, we serve it over rice. 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 small yellow summer squash, sliced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Hot cooked brown rice, optional.

Directions

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add squash and onion; stir-fry until squash is crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add next six ingredients and, if desired, pepper flakes; stir-fry until shrimp turn pink, 3-4 minutes longer. Top with basil. Serve with rice if desired.
