Grilled Shrimp Salad

The best summer Grilled Shrimp Salad! The shrimp is marinated and it's got a fresh, citrus flavor profile. Serve it with your favorite salad toppings and my favorite basil vinaigrette.

📝 Ingredients

• Marinated grilled shrimp (this recipe makes 4 skewers)
• 10 ounces mixed greens and arugula (or your favorite greens)
• 3 ears of corn, husked
• 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 2 avocados, diced
• 4 radishes, thinly sliced
• 4 lemon halves, for garnish
• Basil vinaigrette (or your favorite dressing)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare the marinade according to this Grilled Shrimp Marinade recipe.
2. 2Use kitchen shears to remove the shell from the shrimp (thawed), leaving the lower part of the tail still attached. Marinate the shrimp in the marinade for about 30 minutes. Tip: I’d recommend using a resealable plastic bag for marinating.
3. 3Meanwhile, make the basil vinaigrette according to the linked recipe instructions.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium or medium-high heat.
5. 5Grill the corn on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
6. 6Assemble the marinated shrimp into skewers, and cook on the grill for about 3 minutes per side, until you get grill marks and fully cooked. At the same time, grill the lemon halves, flat side down, until charred.
7. 7Assemble the salad: Start with a bed of mixed greens, plus all the toppings and the grilled corn (kernels only). Arrange the grilled shrimp skewers on top, followed with a generous drizzle of the prepared basil vinaigrette.
8. 8Garnish with the grilled lemon halves. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
