# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Top with grilled lemon juice. Spoon on one or both dressings. Throw some fresh herbs on top and you're set.
02 -
Split fava beans out of their skins and scatter over the grilled romaine. Shave corn off the cob, sprinkle it on. Drop in chopped avocado and tomato halves. Toss on shrimp if you've made it.
03 -
Lay lemon (cut side down), corn, fava beans, and optionally shrimp onto the hot grill. Grill fava beans till soft, which takes 10 minutes or so. Pull everything off when ready.
04 -
Brush romaine halves with a bit of olive oil and give 'em a quick dash of salt. Pop on the grill cut-side down—watch for charring, but don't let them get limp. Remove to a platter or tray.
05 -
Mix up all your sauce ingredients in a bowl with a whisk, and let that wait on the side.
06 -
Crank your grill to medium-high so it gets hot enough for good charring.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Can't find fava beans? Go for shelled edamame instead.
02 -
Shrimp tastes best if you coat it in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper before grilling.
