Fiesta Shrimp

This might be my new favorite recipe of the summer! It's quick and easy. Adjust the red pepper and blackening seasonings to taste. I serve it with a side of tortillas.

Ingredients:
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning or blackening seasoning, divided
Ground red pepper, or red pepper flakes
2/3 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese
1/2 cup drained can of whole-kernel corn with sweet peppers
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup diced tomatoes with chipoltes
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups hot cooked rice
sour cream
salsa

Directions:
  • Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
  • Arrange shrimp in the center of two overlapped pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil. Drizzle oil over shrimp; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon seasoning, tossing to coat.
  • Top shrimp with cheese, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and beans; sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of seasoning and red pepper. Fold opposite ends of foil together; crimp to seal.
  • Place foil packet on prepared grill; cover and cook 15 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice with sour cream and/or salsa.

Servings: 4
