Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine lime juice and olive oil while whisking gradually. Add cilantro, jalapeño, and cumin to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix together tomatoes, beans, green onions, red onion, and 3/4 cup of cilantro. You can prepare the dressing and salad in advance by covering the dressing and letting it sit at room temperature for up to 6 hours. Cover the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the lettuce in a bowl for the salad. Transfer 1/4 cup of dressing to a small bowl, keeping the rest aside for later use. Coat the corn with the dressing from the small bowl. Grill the corn until it starts to brown, rotating it regularly, which should take around 5 minutes. Brush the shrimp with the remaining dressing from the small bowl and grill them until they are opaque in the middle, turning them occasionally, approximately 5 minutes cooking time.
