One-pan dinners are a year-round thing, but there’s always a way to make them seasonal and sensational. This amped-up take on succotash features blistered tomatoes and charred corn tossed with onion, bell peppers, lima beans, and seared Cajun-spiced shrimp, then topped with a flurry of torn basil. The protein-packed beans make this meal super-filling, but nobody would blame you if you went back for seconds.
The best part of this one-skillet wonder? It’s ready in just 35 minutes. Serve it with crusty bread or roasted potatoes and a glass of white wine for your new weeknight go-to meal.
