Add the corn and black beans to the salad mixture.

Cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

If using crab meat, ensure it is drained and flaked.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

Top the salad with cooked shrimp or crab meat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
