• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 lb shrimp (medium, uncooked)
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 dash Tabasco sauce
• 1 1/2 lbs butternut squash (peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 1/4 lbs green cabbage, chopped (about 1 quart, 1/2 a small head)
• 1 lb baking potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (about 2)
• 2 cups whole kernel corn

3. Add the shrimp and 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and firm, about 5 minutes.
