For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the shrimp marinade.
Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your personal preference. A sweeter sauce pairs well with the citrus notes in the salad.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the corn salad, such as avocado or cucumber.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake the shrimp foil packets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
