- about 12 bamboo skewers
- 4 ears fresh corn

- Grill bell pepper and scallions, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes, and transfer to bowl.
- Grill shrimp until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side, and transfer to bowl.
- Cut kernels from cobs into another large bowl.
- Peel bell pepper and cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
- Thinly slice scallions.
- Add bell pepper, scallions, shrimp, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste to corn and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange greens on 4 plates and top with corn mixture.
- Drizzle salads with vinaigrette.
