Easy homemade GRILLED SHRIMP AND CORN SALAD made with simple, whole food ingredients and packed with some good macro nutrients: protein, carbs and fat. This makes such a great lunch. Gluten-free and dairy-free.

My family loves to vacation in Florida on 30A beaches. When we are down there we head to Shrimpers (a fish market) to go get the freshest seafood there is. This is one of the recipes we love to make, but it was truly inspired in FL.

What you need:

• corn cobs
• Baby Romaine lettuce 
• extra virgin olive oil
• Jumbo shrimps
• tomatoes 
• cucumber 
• avocado & lime dressing (see avocado & lime dressing post)

What you need to do:

• Prepare the dressing according to the Avocado, Lime & Cilantro Dressing.
• Heat the grill (outdoor or oven) to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with 1 tsp. olive oil and season with salt. Wrap in foil. Brush the romaine lettuce with the remaining 1 tsp of oil and also season with some salt.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers and brush them with 1/3 of the earlier prepared dressing.
• Grill the corn 20-25 mins, turning a few times. Grill lettuce and shrimps for about 5 mins.
• To assemble the salad, loosely chop the grilled lettuce, cut corn off the cobs and mix everything with the chopped vegetables and grilled shrimps. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
