Recipe of the day - 3/15 - Jerked Shrimp with Melon Salsa
Jerked Shrimp with Melon Salsa
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 Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Toss shrimp, oil, 2 teaspoons lime juice, and jerk seasoning blend in medium bowl. Let marinate 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss cantaloupe, honeydew, cilantro, red onion, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice in medium bowl. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper. Thread shrimp onto metal skewers. Grill until opaque in center, occasionally brushing with marinade, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa and lime wedges. Makes 2 servings; can be doubled. I did this recipe when I was in school and it is excellent. I added some chiffonade of mint leaves to the salsa for extra flavor, and you could do the same, or not!
