Put the corn, red pepper, jalapenos, scallions and beans in the bowl with the dressing and mix to combine while the veggies are still slightly warm. Sprinkle the Pecorino-Romano over the salad. Season with salt and pepper and add a dash of hot sauce if desired. Top with the cilantro and crispy bacon and serve immediately slightly warm, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- 1 Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until darkened in spots, about 10 minutes. Set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
- 2 Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to a medium bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, until flavors blend. (The salsa can be made up to 4 hours ahead.)
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe corn on the cob. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
- To grill the corn, you can use a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or a grill pan. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot before you add the corn.
- Cook the corn until it is tender and slightly charred. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill.
- Once the corn is cooked, let it cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. You can use a sharp knife or a corn stripper to remove the kernels.
- To make the cilantro butter, simply combine softened butter, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- To make the shrimp pico de gallo, simply combine cooked shrimp, diced tomatoes, diced onions, diced jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- To make the avocado puree, simply blend avocado, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- To assemble the salad, simply combine the grilled corn, cilantro butter, shrimp pico de gallo, and avocado puree in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
