easy gluten free dinner with shrimp

Creamy Shrimp and Poblano Dinner

One of the classic dinners that has been in our family-recipe-rolodex for years now is the Creamy Shrimp and Poblano Dinner!

Mainly, because it’s so few ingredients and quick and easy to make. But also because our Mexican daddy loves the Baja-freshness of this dish.

It’s also naturally Gluten-free without missing anything tasty or robust. And it’s super easy to make this recipe dairy-free by swapping the cream for rich Coconut milk! Gives it a great taste, too!

See what I mean by easy-to-make here:

Creamy Shrimp and Poblano Dinner

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Peeled and Deveined Shrimp, medium size (I use cooked)

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 2 good-sized or 3 small Poblano Peppers, cored/seeded and cut into 1/2 inch chunks

  • 1 cup Frozen Sweet Corn

  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream (or Coconut Milk for dairy-free)

  • Freshly ground Pink Salt and Black Pepper

  • Optional: Cooked rice to serve it over

Next, saute the peppers for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until they soften and blister a bit.

Now, add in the corn and seasonings. Stir and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until the corn is cooked.

Then, add in the shrimp and cream, stirring and heating for a couple minutes, just until hot.
