Ingredients

1 cup red and orange peppers
1 small red onion
3 ears corn
16 ounces raw peeled and deveined large shrimp
4 cloves garlic shredded with microplaner
1 bunch asparagus
vegetable oil for sauté and marinade
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1 dash cajun seasoning
8 grinds black pepper

Instructions

Dice peppers and onions. Shred garlic, and place in a small container with a drop or 2 of vegetable oil. Remove tough ends from asparagus, and cut on bias into 1 inch pieces.
1 cup red and orange peppers, 1 small red onion, 1 bunch asparagus
Place corn, in husk in microwave for 3 minutes on high. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to cool. Remove husk and silk. Cut bottom so it is even for standing corn up. Slice corn kernels off and set aside.
3 ears corn
Clean and de-vein shrimp. Pat dry between paper towels. This is important as any moisture will not allow shrimp to crisp up. Add shrimp to a bag or bowl and season with 1 teaspoon oil and 2 teaspoons cajun spice.
16 ounces raw peeled and deveined large shrimp
Get 2 cast iron pans out. Add a few drops of oil to one pan and heat up. Sauté corn till browned a bit. Add some cajun spice to corn. Place in a bowl and cover with foil. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
3 ears corn
Heat up both cast iron pans and add a bit of oil to the one for the onions. Toss in onions, and stir. Now add the shrimp to the other hot pan and arrange so they are all flat. Do not stir, as you want them to get a nice sear.
1 small red onion
Add the garlic to the onions, and stir. Add in the asparagus. At this point, season with a bit of the cajun spice, and freshly ground black pepper and stir around to coat all the veggies.
4 cloves garlic, 1 bunch asparagus, 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
After shrimp cooks for 5 minutes, turn over. Now add in the corn to the veggies and stir. The shrimp will only take about 2 minutes for the sear, and then pull off the heat.
3 ears corn
Arrange the veggies in a bowl and top with the shrimp.
