For the Corn:
- 2 ears corn
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (more or less for desired heat)
- 1/2–1 teaspoon lime zest
For the Shrimp:
- 12 medium shrimp (31/35 count per lb), deveined and tails removed
- 1/4 cup your favorite bbq sauce or marinade
For the Coleslaw (see note*):
- 1/4 red cabbage, roughly chopped into thin slices
- 1/4 green cabbage, roughly chopped into thin slices
- 2 large handfuls kale, roughly chopped into thin slices
- 1 large handful arugula, roughly chopped into thin slices
- 2–4 tablespoons favorite store-bought coleslaw dressing
For the Bowl:
- 1–2 large handfuls arugula (you can also serve over quinoa!)
- 12 bbq marinated shrimp
- 1 cup roasted potatoes
- 2 ears of corn, kernels removed
- 1/2 cup coleslaw
- 1/2 medium avocado, pitted and sliced
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 4 tablespoons cotija cheese
- Optional for serving: corn chips, fresh lime wedges
Instructions
For the Potatoes & Corn:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Set aside while you prepare the corn
- In a small bowl combine butter, chili powder and lime zest then slather both ears of corn with it
- Wrap each piece of corn in its own piece of foil and place directly on the oven rack
- On a separate rack, or next to the corn, place the potatoes
- Bake both 25-30 minutes or until skin is lightly browned and potatoes are fork tender
- Allow corn to cool, then slice off the kernel
For the Coleslaw:
- While potatoes & corn bake, combine all ingredients for the coleslaw into a large mixing bowl and toss to combine (adding more dressing as needed to reach desired creaminess)
For the Shrimp:
- When potatoes have about 5 minutes left, place a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1/2 teaspoon olive oil then add shrimp and the bbq sauce. Cook about 4-5 minutes each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
For the Bowl:
- Into a bowl, add half the arugula then layer with half the shrimp, potatoes, corn, coleslaw, avocado, lime zest and cotija cheese
- Repeat for second bowl
- Add any additional items for serving
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Shrimp & corn can be cooked on the grill as well. For the corn, grill 18-20 minutes in the foil. For the shrimp, grill 3-4 minutes each side.
