Method

1. MIX THE MARINADE: Combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
2. MARINATE THE SHRIMP: Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for 15–30 minutes.
3. CHAR THE CORN: While the shrimp marinates, season the corn with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill the corn over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until lightly charred on all sides. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cob.
4. MIX THE SALSA: In a bowl, combine the charred corn, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
5. ADD THE AVOCADO: Gently fold in the diced avocado just before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. GRILL THE SHRIMP: Thread the shrimp onto skewers and grill over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or until opaque with light char
7. SERVE: Spoon the salsa onto a serving platter, arrange the grilled shrimp on top, and finish with lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired.
