Fresh Corn Salad With Spicy Shrimp And Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 ears fresh corn, cleaned and the kernels cut off
    1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
    10 ounces cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    1 red bell pepper (raw or roasted)
    1 1/2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon white vinegar
    1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
    salt & fresh ground pepper
Preparation
    -Place the corn kernels in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool.
    In a bowl, mix the cajun seasoning and the shrimp. Over medium heat, put the olive oil in a large skillet. When it's hot, add the shrimp, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan to cool.
    To make the dressing, just combine the lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and chile powder with a small whisk.
    Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl and pour the dressing over. Toss gently and taste to see if it needs anything (salt, pepper, lime -- ).
    You can serve it at room temperature, or chilled. Or even slighly warm, I would imagine. It's just delicious, as well as easy and quick!
