Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp with 2 tbsp jerk seasoning, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice until coated evenly. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: While shrimp marinates, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside to let flavors meld.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated shrimp onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
Step 4: Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.
Step 5: Serve the grilled jerk shrimp hot with a generous spoonful of the fresh mango salsa on top or on the side.
