Steps:
- Soak the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
- Make the marinade: Place olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley salt, and pepper in a bowl. Give it a whisk until fully combined.
- Place shrimp and marinade in the bowl and toss to coat. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Skewer the shrimp: Thread the shrimp on skewers starting from the thickest part of the shrimp and arranging 5-6 shrimp per skewer. Place on a plate and set aside.
- Grill: Heat the grill to 400 to 450 F degrees. Grill the shrimp skewers on direct heat for 2-3 minutes or as soon as it turns pink along the edges and then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes or until it is lightly charred.
- Transfer the now-cooked shrimp onto a plate. When cool enough to handle, remove the shrimp from the skewers and set aside.
- Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with a kitchen twine.
- Brush each ear with oil on all sides and sprinkle them with salt.
- Grill over medium-high heat until lightly charred on all sides, brushing with oil, turning and checking every few minutes. This takes about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the now-grilled corn onto a cutting board and let it cool. When cool enough to handle, cut corn kernels from the cobs. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside.
- Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Place butter lettuce leaves, tomatoes, scallions, corn, and shrimp in a large salad bowl. Top it off with crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle it with the dressing and give it a gentle toss.
- Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight snap when you bend them. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. Grilled, roasted, and sautéed shrimp are all delicious options. You can also add shrimp to salads, soups, and stews.
- Don't overcook shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it while it's cooking. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Season shrimp simply. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all classic seasonings that work well with shrimp. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Serve shrimp with a variety of dipping sauces. Cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and lemon butter are all popular options. You can also serve shrimp with grilled vegetables, rice, or pasta.
