Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 2 tsp jerk seasoning paste*
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 ounces green leaf lettuce
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- ¼ large red onion, sliced thinly (or more/less according to taste)
- 2 cups chopped pineapple
- 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- ½ cup Creamy citrus dressing or any dressing of your choice
Instructions
- Toss the shrimp in a bowl or zip top bag with the jerk seasoning paste, mixing everything around to thoroughly coat the shrimp.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway, until shrimp is cooked through (pink and opaque throughout). Remove from heat.
- Combine the lettuce, bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple (either in a large bowl, or divided onto four plates). Top with the shrimp. Add the creamy citrus dressing (or any dressing of your choice). Enjoy!
Notes
- *You may need to adjust the amount of jerk paste depending on the product you use and your spice preference.
- The shrimp can be grilled for more traditional jerk cuisine. Place them on a skewer, then grill about 2-3 minutes per side.
