How to Make Fresh Corn Salad With Spicy Shrimp And Tomatoes

  1. Cook shrimp: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1 pound of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and devein the shrimp, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Cut 2 cups of fresh corn kernels off the cob (about 2 ears). Dice 1 red bell pepper and 1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1-2 teaspoons of minced jalapeño or your favorite chili pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, corn, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
