Grilled Shrimp Skewers With Mexican Corn Elotes Salad #RSC image

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. One of my favorite street foods from Mexico is "elotes", which is corn on the cob with various toppings. I've lightened it up with Greek yogurt and paired it with grilled shrimp. Delicious!
