Edamame Succotash with Shrimp

Adapted from EatingWell

As I'm sure many of you have noticed already I love the EatingWell recipes! The website has tons of healthy and delicious recipes and the majority of them that I've tried have turned out great. To be honest I'm not really sure what a "succotash" is (I'll have to look it up), but it turns out I like it. This recipe was light, fresh and satisfying. The only disappointment was I didn't really taste the bacon. It's a sad thing I know lol ;)


Ingredients:
2 slices turkey bacon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch scallions, sliced, or 1 medium onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp thyme
10 oz frozen shelled edamame, thawed
10 oz corn (canned or frozen, thawed)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 pound raw shrimp (26-30), peeled and deveined
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1/4 tsp paprika

Directions:
Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Leave drippings in the pan, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels; let cool.

Add oil to pan. Add scallions (or onion), bell pepper, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in edamame, corn, broth, vinegar and salt. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile toss shrimp with the lemon pepper & paprika. Scatter the shrimp on top of the vegetables, cover and cook until the shrimp is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle on top.
