Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Creating Street Corn and Shrimp is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Corn: Start by husking the corn and removing all the silk. Cut the kernels off the cob into a bowl for later use.
2. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and cooked through.
4. Cook the Shrimp: While the corn is grilling, add the seasoned shrimp to the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
5. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and combine them in a large bowl with the grilled shrimp. Fold in the creamy sauce and crumbled cotija cheese gently.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the mixture for added flavor and color.
8. Serve: Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
