Sweet meets salty in this main dish, one of our favorite summer meals. Briny grilled shrimp come with a salad of juicy chunks of watermelon tossed with feta and crunchy pumpkin seeds. In a lightened take on elotes, the Mexican street food snack, corn on the cob is lightly charred then slathered with cilantro-lime butter.

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the corn

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Bring the butter to room temperature.
  • Shuck the corn; split the ear in half.
Cook the corn in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the water and pat dry. While the water comes to a boil, start the watermelon-feta salad.

2

Make the watermelon-feta salad

  • Using a serrated knife, cut the peel from the watermelon; cut the fruit into 1-inch cubes.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; thinly slice the leaves.
  • Juice half the lemon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the watermelon with the mint, feta, and pumpkin seeds. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt.

3

Make the cilantro-lime butter

  • Finely chop the cilantro.
  • Zest the lime; juice half, and cut the other half into wedges.
In a small bowl, using a fork, mash the butter with the cilantro, lime zest, and juice. Season to taste with salt.

4

Cook the shrimp; finish the corn

  • Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper. Thread them onto the skewers.
In a pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Cook the shrimp until lightly charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the corn to the pan and cook, turning a few times, until lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the shrimp and corn to individual plates. Top the corn with as much cilantro-lime butter as you like. Serve with the watermelon-feta salad and the lime wedges.
