Directions
For the Grilled Corn

- Transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely.
For the Salad
- Toss the shrimp with chillioil, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Thread onto a metal skewer(s).
- Cut the charred corn from the cob (use a smaller bowl set upside down over a larger bowl, balance the cob on the bowl and shave the ears down from top to bottom, turning and repeating, the larger bowl will collect the cut kernels), toss with avocado, tomatoes, lime juice and zest, olive oil, sambal, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
