Shrimp for dinner...

I was trying to figure out what to make for dinners over the next week while generating my grocery list.  I love to meal plan.  Unfortunately, we both have had such hectic schedules lately, if I meal plan too much, some nights we’ll forego the plan and then risk wasting food!!!  Seeing the cover recipe for the August 2009 issue, I remembered I had some raw shrimp in the freezer.  Jerk-Spiced Shrimp it was!

This recipe has some good flavor.

Preparation

Jerk-Spiced Shrimp & Fruit Salsa

Cooking Light Magazine, August 2009 cover recipe (Link routes you to myrecipes.com)

This dish was served with a simple side salad.  I didn’t want to have anything too exciting served on the side.  The shrimp and fruit salsa were the stars.  I’d definitely try this dish again.  However, I think I’d like to see how this plays out with something like chicken.  I would marinate the chicken in the spices and olive oil for a while before cooking.  Also, I think fresh garlic might enhance the overall flavor too.
