12-16oz large shrimp, deveined, tails and shells removed
1 medium zucchini, chopped into quartered
1 medium yellow squash, quartered
2 bell peppers yellow, red or orange, half slices
1 cob of corn, kernels cut off or 1 cup of canned or frozen corn
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt, or creole seasoning
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp creole seasoning (or 1/2 tsp for milder flavor*)
Mix squash and peppers in bowl with olive oil, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt or creole seasoning. Add sausage and bake at 400 for 10 mins.
Season shrimp with 1 tsp of creole seasoning. Add to Air Fryer after 10 mins with corn. Cook for additional 5 mins, until shrimp is thoroughly cooked.
*For my kids I tend to have to make it milder, so I season the shrimp with 1/2 tsp, and add more once theirs has been plated.
We are currently in summer, which means that not only are the vegetables used in this recipe at their peak, but they’re easy to come by. If you’re a gardener like me, you may have an overabundance of squash so having different recipes to use it in can be handy. Also, can we talk about those colors? The kids and I like to play a game to see how many colors of the rainbow we can check off that we ate in a day, hitting three of those in one setting? Score! Did I mention that the entire recipe can be done in 30 mins?
Psssttt…..this serves beautifully over grits! I’ll be sharing our favorite creamy grits recipe soon!
