This colorful and healthy shrimp recipe cooks in less than 6 minutes. The fresh mango, lime, and avocado make this Spicy Shrimp and Mango Salad a tasty and refreshing summer meal. Ingredients:
1 pound (raw) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact, if desired) |
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks |
2 teaspoons blackened-fish rub or cajun seasoning |
cooking spray |
8 cups packed torn boston or bibb lettuce leaves |
1 diced peeled avocado |
1 diced peeled mango |
3 tablespoons salsa or picante sauce |
2 tablespoons mango chutney |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill or broiler, or have a ridged grill pan ready to preheat. Combine shrimp and bell pepper chunks in a medium bowl. Add fish rub or Cajun seasoning; toss to coat lightly. Thread shrimp and bell pepper (alternately) on metal or bamboo skewers (the latter presoaked in water); coat with cooking spray.
2. Arrange lettuce, avocado, and mango on 4 large plates. Combine salsa, chutney, and lime juice; mix well. (Salads and dressing can be prepared up to 2 hours before serving; chill separately.)
3. Put shrimp skewers on medium-hot grill, under broiler 4 inches from heat, or in grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until shrimp are opaque. Remove shrimp and peppers from skewers; arrange over salads. Drizzle salsa mixture over salads; top with cilantro, if desired.
