Grilled Summery Salad
I love making this recipe, it's super easy, tastey, light, and yet still filling. This is something you can make when you're feeling lazy but also still works when serving a crowd, all the ingredients are easy to multiply to make more of.
Equipment
- Smoker (I have an egg-style Kamado Grill) and accessories
Time
1 hour
Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn
- 2 red peppers
- 2 avocados
- 1 pound shrimp
- 4 ounces Queso Fresco
- 5 ounces of baby Arugula
- Chipotle Chili Powder
- Baking Soda
- Wood chips of choice if you have a smoker/grill
Instructions
Prep
- Defrost your shrimp, pat them dry
- Season the shrimp with a squirt of lime, salt, Chipotle Chili Powder, and a teaspoon of baking soda
- Heat up your grill to about 250°F
- Cut your red peppers in thirds. Remove all seeds.
- Butter your butter, and add a small amount of Chipotle Chili Powder (sometimes I use Trader Joe's "Everything But the Elote")
Cooking
- My grill is also a smoker, if your's is as well, I recommend adding a few wood chips of your choice just to add flavor
- Add your corn and red pepper to the grill, let them cook for about 5 minutes, turning every few minutes
- Add the shrimp over direct heat, flipping often, and pulling when cooked
- Slice the avocado and queso fresco
- Take off the corn and red peppers when they're done. Cut the corn off of the ear into a few bowls. Add the arugala, shrimp, avocado, and queso fresco
- Add a touch of olive oil and salt
- Enjoy!
