Directions

  1. 1Start by making the roasted corn and black bean salsa. Remove corn from cob and roast over high heat for 3-5 minutes, mixing frequently to prevent burning.

  3. 3While corn is cooling, prepare other ingredients for the salsa: strain and rinse black beans, finely dice red onion, poblano pepper, and tomatoes, and chop fresh cilantro.
  4. 4Combine the roasted corn, black beans, red onion, poblano pepper, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, juice of 1 lime, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl.
  5. 5Once the salsa is done, place it in the fridge.
  6. 6Next, prepare the creamy cilantro lime sauce by blending all ingredients together until nice and smooth.
  7. 7Place the creamy cilantro lime sauce in the fridge.
  8. 8Prepare the shrimp by ensuring they are clean and all shells are removed.
  9. 9Add the shrimp to a large bowl with 2 tbsp of olive oil and your taco seasoning of choice, then mix until well combined.
  10. 10Cook the shrimp in a large greased skillet over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes per side.
