serve this creamy grilled corn salad as side dish or entree this summer

I’m always looking for fun summer dishes that I can make almost entirely on the grill. Just grill shrimp and corn on the cob and toss with a few ingredients in your kitchen for the perfect, creamy corn and tomato salad!

This grilled shrimp salad is perfect for a cold lunch during the hot summer months or as a dip at a party. I also like to serve it along side grilled steaks for a simple surf and turf meal!

What should I serve with this grilled shrimp salad

We loved this corn and tomato salad as a dip with chips. It is also delicious on its own for lunch over a bed of mixed greens.

It would also be a delicious summer side dish. Serve this with some of my grilling favorites like grilled marinated flank steak or grilled chicken thighs.

How to make Grilled shrimp and corn salad

Step 1: Preheat grill and prep ingredients

To begin, preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove husk from corn on the cob and brush with olive oil.

Then, toss the shrimp in oil. Season the corn and shrimp with salt and pepper. 

Step 2: grill shrimp and corn

Next, place shrimp in a grill basket, grilling mat or on a piece of tinfoil to grill. Place corn cobs directly on the grill.

Grill shrimp for about 4 minutes tossing frequently. You will know the shrimp are finished when they are pink and curl into a C shape.

Then, grill corn for about 8 minutes rotating every 2 minutes. Close grill between rotations to evenly cook. 

Step 3: Mix it all together

Remove the corn and shrimp from the grill. While the corn and shrimp are still warm, chop shrimp into bite size pieces and cut the corn off the cob and add them to a mixing bowl.

Then, add the goat cheese, tomatoes, fresh basil, and vinegar to the mixing bowl. Toss to combine.

The slightly warm corn and shrimp should melt the goat cheese to make a perfect creamy grilled corn salad

can i make this shrimp and corn salad ahead of time?

Yes! If you need to, you can grill the shrimp and corn ahead of time. Cut the shrimp into bite size pieces and cut the corn off the cobe.

Store the ingredients separately. Then, jsut before serving, slightly warm the corn and mix the goat cheese, tomatoes, basil, and shrimp in while the corn is warm.

Storage and reheating

Store this creamy grilled shrimp salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I would recommend eating this cold or at room temperature instead of reheating it.

    I’ve made this twice now, two different ways. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and it was a hit. The second time I actually swapped the basalmic and basil for some Jacobsen’s Chili Lime salt and served it as taco filling. Either way was a great summer flavor and summer temperature dish.

    I have made this multiple times this summer! Would have never thought to combine goat cheese and shrimp. It’s also very good with a romaine base and use all the ingredients as a true salad!

    I absolutely loved this recipe!!! I made with air fried chicken instead of shrimp due to an allergy and it was fabulous. Good warm or cold and I will absolutely make this again.
