SHRIMP CORN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Soak the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.

• Place shrimp and marinade in the bowl and toss to coat. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Skewer the shrimp: Thread the shrimp on skewers starting from the thickest part of the shrimp and arranging 5-6 shrimp per skewer. Place on a plate and set aside.
