Absolutely delicious! Love the flavor combinations!! Should have prepped the night before but it did come together. Couldn’t use a grill so I cooked the shrimp under the oven broiler and basted with the marinade. Definitely a five star recipe that I will make again.

I make this once a week in the summer! The grilled corn and shrimp taste delicious and the marinade and dressing brighten it up.

How come the only person in The Kitchen who needs to have the recipes titled for her is Sunny?
Is it an ego thing? Just wondering…

This is a solid and unique party salad. I made it with what I had on hand which was both black and pinto beans. I also had some chorizo sausages so I cut those up into slices and tossed them in. I would make this again and add some vegetables for even more flavor and fun!
***update***
Even better on day two.

Looks delic but I am not a bean person, what can I substitute for the beans?

Took this to a July 4th get together. Everybody loved it! Next time I make it  I might add some chopped onion and some chopped fresh jalapenos, think that will be good too!

 This recipe could use some tweaking.  I added some salsa, a dollop of sour cream and a few tortilla chips to my serving.
