  • 1 head green leaf lettuce
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 corn on the cob
  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled & deveined
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoon oil avocado or olive

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • First prep the vegetables. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Cut or tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces. Cut the avocado into slices or bite-size pieces.
  • Next grill the corn. Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 400°F). Remove husks and silk from corn. Rinse and dry the corn.
  • Place corn on the grill grate, cook for 4 minutes, then rotate and cook for another 4 minutes. Repeat until all sides are cooked and kernels start to blacken.
  • While the corn is grilling, prepare the shrimp. Combine seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Dry raw shrimp with paper towels and place in a large bowl. Measure 2 teaspoon of oil into a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle seasoning over shrimp and drizzle oil. Mix thoroughly, ensuring shrimp is coated.
  • Skewer shrimp, placing similar sizes together, each skewer holding around 5 shrimp.
  • After corn is finished, let it cool. Reduce grill temperature to 350°F and grill shrimp skewers for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Cut kernels off the grilled corn using a sharp knife.
  • Assemble salad in a large bowl: lettuce, corn kernels, grilled shrimp, tomatoes, and avocado. Combine dressing ingredients in a jar, shake, and pour over salad. Mix and serve.

Notes

You can use frozen shrimp; defrost before grilling. Metal skewers recommended for best results. Canned corn can be used instead of grilling fresh corn. Salad can be stored separately without dressing for 2-3 days.
