A lightly dressed salad of baby greens would complement this entrée nicely; serve rum-drizzled grilled pound cake slices afterward. Ingredients:
6 large uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
2 teaspoons jerk or caribbean-style seasoning blend |
3/4 cup diced cantaloupe |
3/4 cup diced honeydew melon |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup diced red onion |
4 lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Toss shrimp, oil, 2 teaspoons lime juice, and jerk seasoning blend in medium bowl. Let marinate 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, toss cantaloupe, honeydew, cilantro, red onion, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice in medium bowl. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers. Grill until opaque in center, occasionally brushing with marinade, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa and lime wedges.
