"I found this recipe somewhere on the internet, credited to Redbook. It is just delicious. I have made it with plain petite diced tomatoes, and that worked. I spiced up with cayenne, and I added adobo on the shrimp- just a dash. You can use fresh or frozen corn kernels. I am posting the recipe as is, without my small enhancements. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did."

I am one lady who is totally a Recipe-Zaar ADDICT! I have been married for almost four years, and I get a kick out of the fact that DH says I became 'an overnight cooking queen' with the help of the Zaar. I love gathering recipes in my cookbook, printing on Fridays and shopping in preparation for the weeks meals. We have such a great time declaring recipes 'keepers' and I love that Recipezaar has helped me not only to cook well, but to really enjoy doing it. I've contributed some recipes of my own, and am so happy to see people have enjoyed them. I've also made some great friends through Recipezaar- I just love this site.
