  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced

  • 1 1/4 tsp Morton Kosher salt

For the Shrimp

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Bertolli Extra Virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp McCormick Dark Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

For Serving

  • 2 limes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by placing your husked ears of corn on the grill over medium heat. Grill them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred and tender.
  • While the corn is grilling, dice your red onion, jalapeno, and tomatoes.
  • Once the corn is cooled a bit, cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl. Add your chopped red onion, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and Kosher salt. Toss everything together.
  • In another bowl, combine olive oil, black pepper, dark chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Add the shrimp and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill. Grill them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
  • Once the shrimp is done, transfer everything to a large platter. Serve the shrimp alongside the corn salsa with lime wedges.

Notes
