1 large tomato, diced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons red pepper, roasted and chopped

Boil the 2 ears of corn in salt water for 90 seconds. Remove from pan and cut the corn from the cob.

Place the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp with the garlic for 3 minutes, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Drizzle the lime juice over the jicama.
