Creamy Coconut Shrimp Skillet

This easy weeknight dinner took less than 30 minutes when everything is prepped ahead of time. That’s the secret 🤫 chop your veggies and make your sauces ahead of time for a fast dinner during the week. Super versatile as well! You can switch out proteins and the noodles like I did.

SERVES 4

Ingredients:
1 lb. peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
¼ tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
¾ cup fresh corn kernels (from 1 cob)

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season evenly with ¼ tsp. salt and black pepper.

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange shrimp in skillet and cook for 3 minutes, until nicely seared.

Flip, and cook 1 more minute until shrimp is cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil.
