Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pat 1 pound of raw medium-sized shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a bowl. Pour about 3 tablespoons of the prepared marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Wash and dry 5 cups of butter lettuce and place it on a serving platter or in a large bowl. Prepare 1 cup of fresh or frozen corn and halve 1 pint of cherry tomatoes. Add these ingredients to the lettuce along with 1 sliced avocado and crumbled queso fresco.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp, cooking for 2 minutes, then flip them for another 1-2 minutes until opaque and pink.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, transfer them onto the prepared salad base and gently toss.
- Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the salad and drizzle any remaining vinaigrette over the top.

Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored separately for a few days in the fridge.
