Poached Shrimp with Asparagus, Tomatoes, and Corn

Poached Shrimp with Asparagus, Tomatoes, and Corn

Spring has sprung and I’m so looking forward to the summer.  I know, I know, I should appreciate this beautiful season but after the incredibly crappy winter we have had I’m ready for the heat!  This dish screams warm weather; it has tons of fresh veggies and the only thing that would make this better is to use fresh Ontario corn (available… in the summer!).  I must point out that this dish is very, very, very fast cooking and it is virtually fat free.

Instructions

In a large skillet, with a tight-fitting lid, combine the stock, zest and garlic; bring to a boil.

When the stock is boiling, add the asparagus, corn and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and then mix well.

Then add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper; mix well ensuring the shrimp are coated in the veggies and stock.

Cover the skillet with the lid and then drop the heat to medium.

Poach the shrimp for 4 to 5 minutes, until they are pink and opaque and have curled into the letter “C”.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve immediately.

3. Smaller shrimp require less cooking time; again, they are cooked when they are pink and opaque and have curled into the letter “C”.
