One Pan Creamed Corn Orzo with Shrimp

Serves 4

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Place shrimp in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top and sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat.
2. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large skillet. Bring to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Reduce the stovetop to medium heat.
3. Add the butter and the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the poblano pepper and sweet onion. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring often, until soft. Then add the garlic and corn kernels. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
4. Pour the orzo into the skillet, stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes. Then pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Season with salt and black pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes until the orzo is tender, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the fresh thyme and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Add the shrimp back into the skillet and spritz the remaining lemon juice over top.
6. Divide among four serving plates. Enjoy!
