Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- On sheet pan place corn and halved tomatoes and toss with 2 teaspoons oil until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper (you can also add some granulated garlic for more flavor.) Roast about 10-15 minutes or until tomatoes begin to tighten up.
- Chop lettuce to desired leaf size.
- In sauté pan add 1 teaspoon oil and heat to medium high.
- Add shrimp to pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Once shrimp has tightened up and turned pink (approximately 4 minutes.) Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, sundried tomato and garlic. When well mixed, slowly add the oil in a small stream; the dressing should bind together and look uniform throughout with no separating of oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice avocado in half and remove pit. Cut slices while still in the skin and scoop out with a spoon.
- Arrange lettuce on plate or bowl and top with roasted tomato and corn and avocade. Drizzle with vinaigrette and top with shrimp.
