I hope you all had a happy Cinco de Mayo on Monday!

3 Chile Shrimp Corn Relish | Inspiration KitchenI’d planned to post this Three Chile Dusted Shrimp with Corn Relish to celebrate the holiday because I thought the colors were so festive and fun!  But, the last few days I’ve been feeling just a touch under the weather, which meant no Cinco de Mayo celebration for me, and no new post for you.  🙂

But, now I’m back and feeling good, so let’s talk about this dish!

3 Chile Shrimp Corn Relish | Inspiration KitchenFirst, you will love the corn relish!  It’s fresh, it’s light and it’s got great crunch!  And, it’s loaded with healthy veggies – onions, red peppers, garlic – then topped with a 3 chile mix tossed shrimp.

The relish has just a touch of cider vinegar, which makes it go beautifully with the shrimp’s spicy bite!  And, the sweet/spicy flavor combo is so summertime!

And you know I’m a huge texture fan…so, when it comes to crunchy, chewy and all-around flavor/texture explosion – hello!…I am there!
