MEXICAN SHRIMP SALAD
Yummy shrimp for a salad, but you could also serve it with tortillas or with Mexican rice. Jalapeno and chili powder lend just the right amount of heat and a wonderful aroma! -Marie Bason, Bend, Oregon

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. One of my favorite street foods from Mexico is "elotes", which is corn on the cob with various toppings. I've lightened it up with Greek yogurt and paired it with grilled shrimp. Delicious!

MEXICAN SHRIMP SALAD
This is an easy, filling and healthy salad. You can add any vegetables you like; I made it once with olives and mushrooms but it is more of a Mexican style dish without them.
