    Easy Three Chile Shrimp with Corn Relish

    Ingredients
    3 1/2 teaspoons sugar, divided
    2 teaspoons chili powder
    1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
    1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
    1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
    5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
    2 teaspoons minced garlic
    2 teaspoons minced ginger
    1 (10-ounce) package frozen whole-kernel corn
    1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1/2 cup chopped green onions

    Preparation
    Combine 2 teaspoons sugar, chili powder, chile powders, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Add shrimp to spice mixture; toss well to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and corn to pan; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar; cook 30 seconds. Transfer corn mixture to a bowl; stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup green onions. Wipe pan with a paper towel. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until done, turning once. If using precooked shrimp, saute just long enough to heat, as not to overcook. Serve with corn mixture. Delish!

    I use that for everything! I will make a shrimp cocktail, mix it in with veggies and some old bay seasoning. Or I will put it in my 2 egg white 1 whole egg omelette. Shrimp is very versatile.

    Any & all recipes that involve cooking are for raw shrimp. If you use already cooked shrimp (which is what the OP has), you will ruin the shrimp. They'll become rubbery.

    OP later posted that she went out & bought some raw shrimp, too, so keep the recipes coming. I just don't want anyone to ruin perfectly good cooked shrimp. They're expensive! (And delicious, when properly prepared.)
