Tips:
- For the freshest shrimp, look for ones that are firm and have a slight briny smell.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- If you don't have any corn on the cob, you can use frozen corn kernels instead. Just thaw them before using.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spice in the dressing to your liking. If you want it spicier, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you want it milder, omit the cayenne pepper and chili powder.
- This salad is also great for meal prep. Simply make the salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
