spicy southwest salad

This southwest salad with shrimp has it all - crisp romaine, creamy avocado, hearty black beans and straight-from-the-cob corn with sliced red onions and cilantro. Then, it's topped with perfectly, pan-seared shrimp and finished with a drizzle of honey chipotle vinaigrette for a nice little kick of heat.
