This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some shrimp leftover from a seafood boil and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a fan of corn, so I substituted edamame instead. It was a great way to add some extra protein and vegetables to the salad.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making some adjustments to suit your own taste. For example, I added some extra garlic and lemon juice to the dressing.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The dressing was too oily and the shrimp were not cooked evenly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp were overcooked. I think it's important to watch the shrimp closely while they're grilling.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
