Ingredients

For Grilled Shrimp:

  • 16 jumbo shrimp deveined in shell, raw
  • about ½ cup of good quality olive oil for brushing
  • Coarse salt and black pepper
  • 2 lemons halved

For the Salsa:

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved, on one large tomato, diced
  • 2 small zucchini cut into ribbons
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salsa and set aside before cooking the shrimp.

For the Salsa:

  • Place all salsa ingredients, except zucchini, into a medium bowl and toss together to fully coat. After ingredients are fully incorporated, add ribbons and mix gently.
  • To make zucchini ribbons, slice off ends of zucchini and discard. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a mandoline, or carefully with a sharp knife, slice zucchini into very thin (about ⅛-inch) slices, trying to keep some skin on each piece for color. Stack slices and cut in half lengthwise.

For the Shrimp:

  • Butterfly shrimp by slicing almost through lengthwise, but leave shell on shrimp, this will keep the shrimp tender while grilling over such high heat.
  • Preheat griddle, grill pan, or grill over high heat.
  • Brush each shrimp with oil, season with salt and pepper and grill 2 minutes on each side, until shells are hot pink and shrimp is opaque. Place lemons on grill the last minute. The heat will release the juice from the lemons.
  • To serve, pile the salsa on a plate and top with shrimp. Squeeze grilled lemon wedges over shrimp & enjoy!

Notes

Salsa can also be served over salad, with chicken or with chips.
