  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ears Corn
  • 1 small Red onion, diced
  • Juice of 2 Limes
  • 1 Jalapeno, finely minced
  • 2 Plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 1/4 tsp Morton Kosher salt
  • 2 lb Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Bertolli Extra Virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp McCormick Dark Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder

  • 2 Lime wedges (for serving)

  1. Grill corn on a preheated grill over medium-high heat until kernels are slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Turn occasionally.
  2. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and place in a bowl.
  3. Add diced red onion, lime juice, jalapeno, tomatoes, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with corn.

  10. Finish with lime wedges and garnish with extra cilantro leaves.

Choose the freshest shrimp for best results. Allow shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
