Time 35m

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a strong ammonia smell.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful mixture before grilling. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the shrimp.
  • Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. Shrimp are done cooking when they are opaque and slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides. Grilled shrimp can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled corn on the cob, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp and corn salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled until they are cooked through. The corn is grilled until it is slightly charred and tender. The shrimp and corn are then combined with a dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro. This salad is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
