Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable or light olive oil
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
3 ears of corn
3 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced (green part removed)
Few drops of Tabasco sauce (as needed)
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
Sprigs of cilantro to garnish
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or broiler. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle them with a tablespoon of oil. Seed and devein the peppers, and cut them into quarters. Grill the shrimp until they are lightly charred and barely cooked (about a minute and a half on each side). Cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the peppers skin side down on the grill and char them. Put them in a paper bag for a few minutes; then scrape off their skins. Chop the shrimp and peppers into half-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Shuck the corn and scrape off the kernels with a sharp knife. Put the corn in a bowl with the scallions. Add the cilantro leaves, lime juice, chili, garlic, Tabasco and remaining oil. Mix well. Add the shrimp and peppers and toss. Correct seasoning, adding more lime juice if necessary.
  • Divide the avocado slices among four plates, fanning them out to one side. Spoon the shrimp and corn salad next to the avocado, and garnish with cilantro and a lime quarter.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet red peppers and corn, and they don't even notice the shrimp. The dressing is also very mild, so it's not too spicy for them.

This salad was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the vegetables were bland. The dressing was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were very fresh. I think I would tone down the spice a bit next time, but overall it was a good recipe.
