CARIBBEAN JERK SHRIMP



Caribbean Jerk Shrimp image

This is a quick and simple recipe that is as appropriate for a tailgate party as it is to serve your boss or in-laws. Serve as a finger food with or without cocktail sauce. Or for a sit down dinner, serve over greens with an Asian style dressing, or with a stir fry of veggies prepared the same as the shrimp in a separate skillet or wok and cooked about 10 minutes on slightly lower heat.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 10m

Yield 1 pound, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb jumbo shrimp
caribbean jerk seasoning, McCormick
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • I use 1 pound jumbo shrimp, precooked frozen, peeled and deveined, tails can be either on or off.
  • The most important thing to remember with this recipe is to completely thaw the precooked, frozen shrimp in a colander. When most of the water drains off, pat dry the shrimp as much as possible with paper towels. (Or start with fresh, peeled, deveined shrimp, precooked. A lot of grocers will steam them at no extra charge.).
  • Turn your burner on medium high (almost high) and set your large non stick skillet or wok over the burner. When skillet begins to get really hot, but NOT smoking, quickly add the melted butter and shrimp.
  • Sprinkle on the Caribbean Jerk Seasoning to taste. It's hot and spicy so be careful if you don't like the heat.
  • Keep the shrimp moving in the pan, glazing the shrimp with the hot butter and spices.
  • Cook just until hot and slightly browned. (only about 3 minutes or even less depending on the heat of your skillet).
  • You can also make these in the broiler or on the grill after tossing the shrimp in melted butter, sprinkling on Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and spreading them on a broiler pan or open grill. Broil for only 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.

GRILLED TUNA WITH MANGO-PAPAYA SALSA



Grilled Tuna With Mango-Papaya Salsa image

Yummy tuna with salsa. The salsa is soooo good. Depending on the size of your mango and papaya, you should have some extra salsa left. I like to use the rest of it up as a snack with tortilla chips. Recipe by chef Keith Famie. Note: Probably any sturdy fish would be good in this recipe ie. Mahi Mahi or swordfish, etc... Enjoy!

These spicy shrimp are cooled by the melon salsa and would be lovely served over a bed of baby greens. Small portions would make a stunning appetizer, while a full portion is the perfect lunch or light supper. Quick enough for a weeknight, and won't heat up the kitchen!
