Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 large zucchini, diced
2 large ears of corn, kernels removed
3/4 cup red grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
3/4 cup yellow grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 to 18 fresh basil leaves, cut in chiffonade
Parmesan shavings
Juice of 1 lemon
Rice or pasta, for serving, optional

Steps:

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic, then saute until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
Increase the heat to high, then throw in the zucchini. Stir it around for about 45 seconds, then scoot the zucchini to the edges of the pan. Throw in the corn and cook it for a minute, then push it to the edges of the pan. Throw in the grape tomatoes, stir them around for a minute, then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste.
Then throw the shrimp back in. Stir everything around for about 45 seconds, or until it's all combined and hot. Then pour it onto a big platter.
Sprinkle on the fresh basil and some Parmesan shavings then ... this is the best part ... squeeze the lemon all over the top. This adds a wonderful, indescribable freshness.
You can serve this with rice, with pasta or it's just perfect on its own.

These spicy shrimp are cooled by the melon salsa and would be lovely served over a bed of baby greens. Small portions would make a stunning appetizer, while a full portion is the perfect lunch or light supper. Quick enough for a weeknight, and won't heat up the kitchen!

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your stir-fry.
Marinate the shrimp in the jerk seasoning for at least 30 minutes. This will help the shrimp to absorb the flavors of the seasoning and make them more tender.
Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside moist and tender.
Stir-fry the vegetables until they are just tender. You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
Add the shrimp back to the pan and cook until they are heated through.
Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This jerk shrimp stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The jerk seasoning gives the shrimp a bold and flavorful taste, and the vegetables add a healthy and colorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
