Spicy Shrimp and Corn over Rice

This Spicy Shrimp and Corn recipe is a re-vamped version I posted last year which used Cajun seasoning. If that is not an option for you and you want a spicy kick you can use red pepper flakes and Thai chili.

As a fan of seafood this is an easy way to incorporate shrimp into a meal!
