Grilled Shrimp and Potato Salad with a Creamy Chipotle Dressing + $75 Visa Giftcard Giveaway from Reser's


Here's a great potato salad recipe I came up with, that will surely be a nice change at the BBQ potluck this summer. I did not want the ordinary mayo egg base potato salad so I went another direction. Grilled Shrimp and Potato Salad with a Creamy Chipotle Dressing. This is best served at room temperature, the same day. The adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers give this a nice little spicy kick, so use how ever much you like in the dressing. Grilling the potatoes, corn and shrimp sure add another wonderful flavor also.

What kind of potato salad do yu like? Have a favorite you like to make? If so please read on and see how you can win from Resers and myself!

Grilled Shrimp and Potato Salad with a Creamy Chipotle Dressing
serves 6-8, best served same day

1 pound baby red potatoes
1 pound fresh raw shrimp, deveined and peeled
1 fresh corn on the cob, husk and silk removed.
1/2 Cup jicama, sliced
1 Cup low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 Cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, chopped
2 TBL cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil
1 tsp lime juice

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes. Pre heat your grill.
In the meantime, bring a pot of water and potatoes to boil. Boil the potatoes for just 5 minutes. Drain and thread onto skewers, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl add the shrimp, a little olive oil, salt, pepper and lime juice. Gently toss to cover the shrimp. Thread onto skewers.

On a low-medium grill heat, add the corn (rotating for up to 10 minutes), potatoes (rotating for about 10 minutes) and the shrimp for about 3 minutes per side. Allow all to cool off, to touch (You don't want this salad hot or the dressing will curdle).
When cooled off, slice the corn kernels off the cob and place in a medium size bowl. Slice the potatoes and shrimp in half and add to the bowl. Combine the jicama, beans, onion, avocado and cilantro to the bowl. Gently toss all together.
Now you may either toss with the dressing or drizzle it on top of each serving. Chill any leftovers.


Creamy Chipotle Dressing
1 Cup light sour cream
2 TBL adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
Juice from 1/2 lime
2 TBL cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
shake of salt and pepper
Combine all in a small bowl until well incorporated. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

*I freeze any leftover chipotle peppers and sauce for another use
