Yield 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons dry jerk seasoning mix
3 tablespoons lime juice
6 to 7 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 jalepeno, seeded, and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large stalk broccoli, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/4-inch strips
1 cup diced pineapple (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
1 small sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large carrot, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/4-inch strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, jerk seasoning, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the oil, soy sauce, and jalapeno. Add shrimp and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the broccoli and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until starting to brown but still a little crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, if needed, and add the red pepper and pineapple. Cook, shaking the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and pineapple to the broccoli.
Return the pan to the heat and add another tablespoon of oil. Add sweet potato and carrot and cook, shaking the pan, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture.
Heat another tablespoon of oil in the pan. Strain the shrimp and discard the marinade. Put the shrimp in the skillet and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Return the vegetable mixture to the pan with the shrimp and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately over rice.

SPICY SHRIMP NACHOS

Spicy Shrimp Nachos image

Spicy and sweet! The Jamaican Jerk seasoning really works here, bringing all the flavors together. What an amazing taste sensation! I ended up being so busy today that I had to use pre-cooked shrimp, but it was still fabulous! I submitted the recipe the way it was written in Better Homes and Gardens, but I ended up using more cheese as we didn't think 4 oz. was enough. I used twice that much, a full 8 oz and broiled them on a baking sheet. It took about 5 minutes on the second-to-the-top position in my oven. YUM!
