Marinate the prawns
Gently toss the shrimp or prawns with a spoon until they are evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the salad ingredients.

Cut the corn
Lay one corn cob lengthwise on a chopping board. With the knife and cob parallel to each other, cut down the length of one side of the cob to slice off the corn kernels. Rotate the cob so the cut side is facing the chopping board and slice off another row of kernels. Keep rotating and cutting until you have removed all the kernels from the cob. Repeat with the remaining corn cobs and set the kernels aside. Discard the cobs.
