BBQ Shrimp with Citrus Corn Salad
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp ground black pepper, more to taste
1 tsp sea salt, or more to taste
3 tbsp barbeque sauce
1 sheet of aluminum foil
Citrus Corn Salad:
1 (16 oz) package frozen corn
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
4 tbsp lime juice, or more to taste
1 tsp apple cider vinegar, or more to taste
1 tsp sea salt, or more to taste
1 tsp ground black pepper, more to taste
Set grill to medium heat. Clean and remove the shell from the shrimp (leaving the tail on). In a plastic container or bag, add shrimp, cilantro, lime juice, ground black pepper and sea salt, place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes (overnight will give the best flavour). Place marinated shrimp on a sheet of foil and pour BBQ sauce over shrimp, fold the aluminum foil up and fold over twice; fold each end. Leave enough room for air to circulate in the packet. Place the packet on the grill and allow to cook 6 to 8 minutes.

Yields five servings.
