Instructions:

Place the shrimp into a bowl and sprinkle with the seasonings. Add lime juice, zest, and oil and mix well to evenly coat.

Thread about 3 shrimps over each wooden skewer. Heat a grill pan over medium heat.

Cook the shrimp skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp is pink and opaque.

Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, add chopped avocado, onion, minced garlic, cherry/grape tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro. Stir in the juice of 1 lime, and season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Once the shrimp skewers are done, set aside on a plate.

Keeping the grill pan over medium-high heat place the corn over and grill until charred on all sides, flipping it frequently, for about 6-8 minutes in total.

Allow the corn to chill until ready to handle, then using a sharp knife, slice the corn from the cob and add it to the avocado salad.

Toss the salad to combine one more time, then top with shrimp skewers and serve.
