HONEY LIME SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- In a small jar or bowl, add the olive oil, honey, lime zest and juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Shake or whisk together until well combined.
- In a large bowl add the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels of any excess water. Take 3 tablespoons of the marinade/vinaigrette and add it to the shrimp. Stir together until the shrimp are coated and then let them marinate for 15-30 minutes, stirring once to re-coat them in the marinade.
- While the shrimp marinates make the salad. Arrange the lettuce onto a serving platter or add it to a large salad bowl. Top the lettuce with the corn, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado and queso fresco.
- Add a little olive oil (I used a couple teaspoons) to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, swirl the oil to coat the bottom and then add the shrimp to the hot skillet. Spread them into a single layer and let them cook for 2 minutes before flipping them over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until they're opaque and have curled up.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and then add the shrimp to the salad along with any sauce in the bottom of the pan. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with the remaining vinaigrette either drizzled on top or served on the side.

Tips:
- Use a variety of lime juice, garlic, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño in your marinade. This will give your shrimp a flavorful and vibrant kick.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
- If you want a spicier salad, add more jalapeño to the marinade. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the shrimp is still fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lime marinated shrimp salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. The shrimp is marinated in a flavorful combination of lime juice, garlic, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño, then grilled or poached until cooked through. The salad is then tossed with a dressing made from the reserved marinade, along with chopped cucumber, tomato, and avocado. The result is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is sure to please everyone at the table.
