    What a great way to add some spice to the last of fresh in- season corn (but don't worry you can easily  adjust the heat and also make this with frozen corn any time of the year!). Shrimp, corn, chorizo, tomatoes and basil combine to make the perfect light meal. Serve over rice, quinoa, or cous cous for a heartier meal option.

    This really is so simple!

    Fresh corn is in abundance at the moment so that’s what I’m using for this recipe, but if it’s not available where you live or you’d like to enjoy this meal in another season other than summer…you can easily use frozen corn (just thaw before using).

    I’m grilling the corn on the grill pan, but you can choose to just cut the kernels off the cob and use fresh, or grill on the BBQ. Oh! And if you love the flavor of grilled/roasted corn but don’t want to grill or roast…check out Trader Joes frozen “Roasted Corn”…it’s the bomb!

    Tomatoes and basil are also at the height of their season at the moment (luckily you can also find both any season of the year) . Sriracha give the shrimp and veggies a little kick (adjust to your own taste..or omit entirely. A dash of Old Bay spice would be a good alternative if you want a more mild but still REALLY flavorful option.

    Combine all the ingredients together (reserving a few tomatoes and a few basil leaves), cook for 4-5 minutes and voila! You have dinner ready!
