Jerk Shrimp Salad
This is a delicious jerk shrimp salad giving you the taste of spicy and sweet. I’ve used white balsamic vinegar in the salad dressing, which has a mild sweet flavor to complement the ripe mango used in this recipe.
1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 and ˝ tablespoons of light olive oil 1 tablespoon of dry Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (such as Jamaican Choice) 7 cups of Mesclun greens (spring mix) 1 ripe large mango, peeled pitted and sliced
(Ingredients for the dressing) 2/3 cup of light olive oil 1/3 cup of white balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried 2 scallions, sliced.
Pinch salt and pepper In a large bowl, sprinkle the tablespoon of jerk seasoning over the shrimp and coat evenly. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes to an hour. While the shrimp is marinating prepare the salad. Place the lettuce mix on a large platter. Top with the sliced mango. Set aside. To make the vinaigrette, whisk the olive oil and vinegar. Add in the scallions and fresh thyme to complete. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Add the olive oil to a grill pan on medium high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the grilled shrimp to the salad mix and pour the vinaigrette over the salad to complete. Serve immediately.
