Ingredients

  • 1 head romaine lettuce cleaned and coarsely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups corn read blog post for corn options
  • 1 large or 2 small tomatoes diced small
  • ½ medium cucumber peeled and diced small
  • 1 small serrano chile with seeds removed for less heat, optional and finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Shrimp cleaned and deveined (I used 12-15 count large shrimp)
  • 1 teaspoon Tajín plus more if desired (taco seasoning may be substituted)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 to 4 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons honey or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large bowl, add the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, optional serrano chile; set aside.
  2. To a medium skillet, add the olive oil, shrimp, evenly sprinkle with Tajin, and cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
  3. Flip shrimp over, turn the heat to medium-low, add the butter, garlic, evenly season with salt and pepper, and stir in the butter until it melts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the lemon juice, honey, stir to combine, and taste the sauce. If desired, add additional lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, or Tajin.
  5. Transfer the shrimp and all the sauce to the bowl with the lettuce and vegetables. Stir to combine. Taste and make any other seasoning adjustments if necessary (I sprinkled with 1 more teaspoon Tajin) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Salad is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 2 days, noting the lettuce will wilt and the vegetables will soften as time passes.
