Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Thinly slice radishes.
  • Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch cubes.
Toast croutons
2
  • Add ciabatta and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Toast in the middle of the oven for 5-6 min, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
  • When croutons are done, transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
Char corn
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until deep golden.
  • Remove from heat, then transfer corn to a plate to cool.
Marinate radishes
4
  • Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add vinegar, half the Lemon-Pepper Seasoning and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt, then whisk to combine. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to dressing, if desired.)
  • Add radishes, then toss to coat. Set aside.
Cook shrimp
5
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and remaining Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
  • Heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The charred corn, marinated radishes, and lemon-pepper shrimp are widely praised for their balance of sweet, tangy, and savoury notes. Some reviewers found the overall dish a little mild and suggested a squeeze of lime or a pinch of chili powder to boost depth.
  • Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this recipe quick and straightforward to pull together. Some noted that making croutons in a hot oven felt unnecessary when a pan is already in use, and several successfully toasted them in the pan or air fryer instead.
  • Suggestions: Several reviewers recommended using less lemon-pepper seasoning to let the shrimp flavour come through, and a few suggested cooking the shrimp with garlic for extra depth. Some swapped the ranch for a dill, chipotle, balsamic, or sesame-based dressing and found it a better fit for the dish.
  • Leftovers: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the greens and assembled components do not hold up well past the first day.
  • Portions: A number of reviewers felt the ranch dressing was insufficient for the volume of greens; having an extra packet on hand is worth considering.
