I love this recipe because it's delicious, easy, my entire family gobbles it up, it's decently healthy, and can be gluten-free!
*Preparing this dish for a meal ministry? Just place everything in a pot and take it over to your loved one's home and put it covered on the stove. This is such an easy meal to make and take! Very little prep and clean-up.

If your shrimp is frozen- no worries. Just place in a colander and rinse with luke warm water for a couple mins. Shrimp thaws and cooks quickly!

When it's all done, ladle it out into a large lasagna pan. I put a little butter on the corn and sprinkled it with some sea salt.

Mmmmm!!!! This really is such a delicious meal and SO so so so so so easy. If you can boil water, you can make it. My children are huge shrimp fans- they even like "peel and eat" {pictured above}...I cut open their potatoes and put a little ketchup on top- their plates were empty in 5 mins flat.
