How to Make Exotic Ya Make A Jamaica Jerk Shrimp With Mango Papaya Salsa
- **Marinate the Shrimp (or Meat):** In a non-metal bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup jerk seasoning, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Add 1 pound shrimp (or 1.5 pounds of chicken/pork, cut into 1-inch pieces). Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
- **Prepare the Skewers (for shrimp/veggies):** Soak 12-15 bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes.
- **Make the Mango Papaya Salsa:** Finely chop 1 cup mango, 1 cup papaya, 1/2 cup red onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, and 1 jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat). In a bowl, combine with 2 tablespoons lime juice and salt to taste.
- **Preheat Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-low heat.
- **Grill the Shrimp/Veggies:** Thread marinated shrimp (or veggie chunks) onto skewers. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning once or twice, until pink and cooked through. Adjust cooking time depending on your grill and the thickness of your protein.
- **Grill Chicken:** Remove chicken from marinade, place on the grill over medium-low heat, and grill for 8 minutes per side or until juices run clear.
- **Grill Pork:** Remove pork from marinade. Place on grill over indirect heat. Cover and cook for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking, turning as needed, until internal temperature reaches 150°F (66°C) for medium-well doneness.
- **Rest the Pork (if applicable):** Let pork rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
- **Serve:** Serve shrimp (or chicken/pork) immediately with the mango papaya salsa. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and thyme sprigs. Serve over rice, if desired.
