Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cups Fresh okra (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels (cut from the cob)
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced okra and fresh corn kernels. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 5

Add the black beans and chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir well, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Nestle the shrimp into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for garnish.

Step 9

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
