Steps:

  • Make the corn salad:
  • Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Grill the corn on the grill rack, covered, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the corn to a platter and let it cool, then cut the kernels from the cob. In a bowl toss the corn with the remaining corn salad ingredients. Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Make the pico de gallo:
  • Toss together all the pico de gallo ingredients and season the salsa with salt and additional fresh lemon and lime juice, if necessary.
  • Make the avocado purée:
  • Scoop the avocado flesh into a blender and add the mango and lime and lemon juices. Blend the mixture until it is smooth, then, thin the purée, if necessary. with water. Season the purée with salt.
  • For the prawns:
  • In a medium skillet over moderately high heat, melt the butter, then stir in the cilantro. Add the prawns and sauté, turning them occasionally, until they turn pink and are just cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes. Season the prawns with salt.
  • Plate the dish:
  • Divide the corn salad among 4 plates, spooning it onto the center of each plate, and top each serving with a prawn. Spoon the pico de gallo over the prawn and drizzle it with the avocado purée.

This recipe was a disaster! The corn was undercooked and the shrimp were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much cayenne pepper. Next time, I'll use a little less.

I made this salad with some fresh corn from the farmer's market and it was incredible! The grilled corn had a wonderful smoky flavor and the avocado-cilantro dressing was so creamy and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled corn. It's also a great side dish for summer barbecues.
