Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain and rinse in cold water.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Lay the shrimp in the pan in a single layer, season with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and paprika. Cook until pink and flip, season on the other side and cook just until pink. If the shrimp are large cut them in half.
Step 3
If you’re using canned or frozen/thawed corn, cook it in the same pan for 2-3 minutes over medium high heat.
Step 4
Prepare the dressing: in a blender or food processor add the avocados, lemon juice and zest, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil and water. Blend until smooth.
Step 5
Put it all together: in a large bowl combine the pasta, shrimp, corn, tomatoes, feta cheese, onion, and parsley. Spoon in the dressing and mix well to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes and serve.
