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!

SERVES 4 , 4 servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 bamboo skewers, soaked for an hour
4 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon caribbean jerk seasoning

For the salsa

1 1/2 cups cantaloupes, diced
1 1/2 cups honeydews, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, diced
4 lime wedges (for garnish)
1 (16 ounce) package baby greens (optional)

Directions

1
Toss shrimp, oil, half the lime juice, and jerk seasoning in a bowl. Let marinate 10 minutes while grill heats up.
2
Meanwhile, toss canteloupe, honeydew, cilantro, red onion, and remaining lime juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Thread four shrimp on each skewer and grill, brushing with the marinade, until opaque, about 5 minutes.

Place shrimp on top of greens, with some salsa alongside, and a wedge of lime for garnish.
