Just a little bit of prepared jerk sauce is all you need to spice up seafood. Add tropical flair (and offset the heat) with slices of fresh pineapple.

Ingredients

  • 30 (1 lb/500g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tsp jerk sauce
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • Lime wedges

Preparation

Place shrimp in large bowl. Add jerk sauce, oil, fresh thyme, soy sauce and green onion; toss to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)

Loosely thread 5 shrimp onto each metal or soaked wooden skewer. Place on greased grill over medium heat; brush with remaining marinade.

Close lid and grill, turning once, until shrimp are pink, about 6 minutes. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over top.
