This Southwestern grilled shrimp salad is truly the perfect summer dinnertime salad. The homemade sweet-spicy lime dressing is drizzled over shrimp and corn fresh from the grill, atop a black bean-tomato salsa on a bed of romaine lettuce. Diced avocado completes it all. It's nice with blue corn tortilla chips on the side.
