Categories     Salad

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 24

¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 lb. shrimp (16-20 or 21-25 count per lb., peeled and deveined)
5 ears of corn
3 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
zest of a lime
3 tablespoons of lime juice freshly squeezed
1 clove of garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt (make sure to adjust the level of salt based on the saltines of your feta cheese)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 large head of Boston or butter lettuce (leaves separated, rinsed)
1 cup of cherry tomatoes
3 scallions (chopped)
1 cup of feta cheese crumbled

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.
