30-Minute Garlic-Butter Shrimp with Charred Corn and Burst Tomatoes

This one-skillet dinner is built for long summer evenings when you want something bright, filling, and on the table fast. Sweet corn gets a little char, cherry tomatoes burst into a light pan sauce, and shrimp finish in garlic butter with lemon and basil. Serve it over rice, with crusty bread, or straight from the skillet.

Instructions

  1. 1Pat the shrimp dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside while you prep the vegetables.
  2. 2Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
  3. 3Add the corn and zucchini. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the corn is lightly charred in spots and the zucchini is tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. 4Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to wrinkle and burst, 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. 5Push the vegetables to the edges of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then arrange the shrimp in a single layer. Cook until pink and just opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. 6Stir the shrimp and vegetables together. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and basil. Toss for 1 minute until everything is glossy and fragrant.
  7. 7Taste and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over the shrimp.
