How to Make Steamed Shrimp With Corn And Edamame

  1. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
  2. Prepare the foil packets: Cut four 10x12 inch pieces of aluminum foil. Divide the corn and edamame evenly among the foil pieces (about 1/2 cup of each per packet).
  3. Assemble the packets: Arrange 5 shrimp on top of each corn and edamame mixture. Drizzle each packet with the vinaigrette and top with sliced scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Seal the packets: Fold up each piece of foil to create a tight, sealed packet.
  5. Steam the packets: Fill a large skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  6. Add the packets: Place the foil packets in a bamboo steamer basket (or directly in the skillet if using a steamer-safe skillet). Place the basket in the skillet with boiling water.
  7. Steam: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and steam for 13 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  8. Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the packets from the steamer, let them rest for a minute to release steam before carefully opening them. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
