Shrimp Corn Tomato Salad with Pesto

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Picture this… fresh, crisp, sweet corn kernels that pop in your mouth.  Red, ripe juicy tomatoes. Delicious basil pesto.  Are your taste buds excited?  This Shrimp Corn Tomato Salad with Pesto has it all!

Shrimp Corn and Tomato Salad with PestoCorn and tomatoes are a couple of my absolute favorite summertime veggies.  Even though you can get corn and tomatoes year round, it’s just not quite the same as in the summer fresh from the farmers market.  I also happen to love, love, love pesto and make a lot of it in the summer when there’s so much beautiful basil around. So today I combined a few of my favorite things into a healthy, delicious Shrimp Corn Tomato Salad with Pesto.

Since I don’t have a bbq grill available, I sliced the kernels of corn off the cob and roasted them in the oven with the shrimp.  I bet this would taste equally awesome cooked on the grill!  You could even just throw the corn cobs and shrimp in a pot of boiling water to cook them if you want to do it that way.  Once the corn and shrimp were cooked I tossed them in a bowl with some pesto sauce and let it cool to room temperature.  Then I added some diced tomatoes and that was it!  4 ingredients. Doesn’t get much easier than that!
