Three Chile Dusted Shrimp with Corn Relish

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!

3 Chile Shrimp Corn Relish | Inspiration Kitchen-Oh, and by the way, don’t forget that the French Tea Towel Giveaway ends tonight!  So if you haven’t entered and want to, now’s your chance!

Enjoy!

      The sugar cuts the bite and tartness of the vinegar! 🙂 I’m glad you like the recipe Mimi!
