Notes

Tip 1: For extra flavor, you can char the corn on the grill alongside the shrimp.
Tip 2: Don't marinate the shrimp for longer than 30 minutes, as the acidity from the lime juice will begin to cook the shrimp, making it tough.
Tip 3: Store leftover components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days for best results.
