Preparation:
- Divide the lettuce leaves into individual bowls and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet and fry the corn over medium heat until golden brown around the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the shrimp to the same skillet and cook until they begin to turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and seafood seasoning and stir for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the vinegar and turn away to avoid the fumes! Add the lime zest, agave syrup, and Sriracha sauce. Stir and transfer to a serving platter.
