Summer Shrimp Succotash

About This Recipe:

Summer and fresh corn go hand in hand, so I wanted to create a fun side dish that incorporated corn. Traditional succotash is a cooked vegetable medley of corn, lima beans, tomatoes, and other ingredients depending on the variation, but I decided to make my own summer succotash twist. The main differences are that I swapped out lima beans for edamame, and I don’t cook everything together so it’s more of a chilled salad. I like to top this with shrimp, but of course you can leave it vegetarian!

Enjoy!
