Shrimp salad is a fresh, elegant, and very easy-to-make dish, perfect as a starter or light dinner. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this recipe combines cooked shrimp with romaine lettuce, grilled corn, avocado, and cherry tomatoes, all dressed with a creamy lime mayonnaise that adds a citrusy and refreshing touch.
The mix of textures is key: crunchy lettuce, sweet and slightly smoky corn, creamy avocado, and tender shrimp create a perfect balance. The lime mayonnaise, with its acidity, enhances the seafood flavor without masking it. It's a versatile option that allows variations, such as using canned corn if you don't have fresh corn on the cob, or adding other vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper.
This salad is ideal for those looking for a quick but sophisticated meal, perfect for sharing at gatherings or for a healthy lunch. Being low in carbs and rich in protein and healthy fats, it fits into balanced diets. Its preparation requires no cooking (if you use pre-cooked shrimp), making it accessible even for beginner cooks.

Roast the corn on the cob on a grill. When golden brown, crumble them with the knife and set aside. If we don't have corn on the cob, canned corn can be used.
Separate the broadest leaves from the lettuce to place them as the base of the salad. 3 leaves.
Mix mayonnaise with the juice of half a lime and zest of the rind of the same lime. Mix and paint the lettuce leaves that serve as the base for the salad.
Cut the rest of the lettuce into thin julienne strips. Season with salt and pepper and season with oil. Put on the lettuce leaves painted with mayonnaise.
Generously place the corn on the lettuce.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into slices as desired. Season and season. Place on the lettuce.
Peel the prawns and cut into three pieces. Place on the corn. Dress with lime mayonnaise on top of the prawns.
