Steps:
- Soak the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
- Make the marinade: Place olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley salt, and pepper in a bowl. Give it a whisk until fully combined.
- 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.
- Grill: Heat the grill to 400 to 450 F degrees. Grill the shrimp skewers on direct heat for 2-3 minutes or as soon as it turns pink along the edges and then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes or until it is lightly charred.
- Transfer the now-cooked shrimp onto a plate. When cool enough to handle, remove the shrimp from the skewers and set aside.
- Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with a kitchen twine.
- Brush each ear with oil on all sides and sprinkle them with salt.
- Grill over medium-high heat until lightly charred on all sides, brushing with oil, turning and checking every few minutes. This takes about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the now-grilled corn onto a cutting board and let it cool. When cool enough to handle, cut corn kernels from the cobs. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside.
- Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Place butter lettuce leaves, tomatoes, scallions, corn, and shrimp in a large salad bowl. Top it off with crumbled feta cheese.
- Drizzle it with the dressing and give it a gentle toss.
- Serve immediately.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH MELON AND FETA
A colorful mix of juicy fresh melon, salty feta and grilled shrimp, this easy-to-make salad is perfect for a quick and light summer dinner. A little minced chile adds heat, balancing the sweetness of the melon and shrimp, while the toasted whole coriander seeds lend a nice crunch. You can use any one type or a combination of melon here, and the riper the better. Serve this with something to catch all the tangy sauce - bread, rice or even a spoon.

Steps:
- Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat the broiler. Make the fire as hot as it will get and, if using a broiler, put the rack close to the heat source.
- While the grill heats up, lightly crack the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. (Careful: They can roll around.) Put them in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan once or twice until fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl.
- Using a Microplane or other grater, grate zest from both limes straight into the bowl with coriander. Grate in the garlic (no need to wash the grater in between), then add the chile and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil.
- Pat shrimp dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with a pinch each salt and black pepper. Give the coriander mixture a stir, then pour half of it over the shrimp, reserving the rest for the salad. Toss shrimp to coat and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
- Cut the zested limes in half, squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice and whisk into the coriander mixture to make a dressing. Cut leftover lime into wedges.
- Arrange the shrimp in a grill basket or on skewers (or just on a sheet pan if broiling), and grill or broil shrimp until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and squeeze a wedge of lime all over.
- In a large bowl, combine melon, cucumber, onion, feta and herbs. Pour in coriander dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice to taste. Top melon salad with grilled shrimp and more herbs, if you'd like.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat to about 375 degrees F or preheat a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean the grill grates.
- Grill the corn, flipping occasionally, until you see grill marks and the corn turns bright yellow, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, combine the shrimp with the lemon zest, a drizzle of grapeseed oil and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss together. While the corn is cooling, grill the shrimp until you see grill marks and the shrimp is pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place into a large bowl; discard the cobs. Add the snap peas, chopped mint, radishes, almost all of the scallions (save the rest for garnish), the lemon juice, a drizzle of the olive oil and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper. Toss together and taste for seasoning. Add the feta and shrimp and toss to combine.
- Serve in a large shallow dish and sprinkle with the reserved scallions and mint leaves. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
