Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2.25 tsp smokehouse maple seasoning (e.g. McCormick® Grill Mates®)
1.5 tsp lemon juice
340 g peeled and deveined shrimp
60 ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

240 g mixed salad greens
120 ml thinly sliced English cucumber
80 g freshly cooked corn
120 ml diced tomato

Directions

Step 1
In a glass bowl, mix olive oil, maple seasoning, and lemon juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, lime juice, cilantro, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette. Set aside.
Step 3
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and grill until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skewers and set aside.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, place the mixed greens at the bottom. Arrange cucumber, corn, tomato, red onion, and avocado on top of the greens. Pile the grilled shrimp in the center of the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
