Notes

Make sure the shrimp are not overcooked; they should be pink and opaque when done. Use fresh corn when it's in season for the best flavor. Adjust the garlic to your liking. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños when cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and will last up to 2 days.
