Broiled Shrimp Over Black Bean and Corn Salad

Note: Deb will understand why I substituted chicken for shrimp in this recipe and will not be offended because she knows me too well.

We made this for our Sunday meal with the Free families that I wrote about earlier. We loved it. The chicken turned out amazing and the salad has become an instant Spencer favorite. We are going to try it again and add a few things to the salad, like jicama, black eyed peas instead of the black beans, and red bell peppers. Deb's salad is very similar to a vegetarian salad we buy at Costco that Spencer and I fight over. We think we can make it to be close to the one we buy. The dish really was great and would be delightful with shrimp, I'm sure! That day we also made Janette's Gorditas (I've made them before, but this time they turned out better with practice) and also Deb's fruit salsa and cinnamon chips. The salsa recipe is a very large one but we managed it quite well...we're a bunch of fatties, as the kids would say! Oh, and White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies, too. It is safe to say we ate well.
