GRILLED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

• Sprinkle 12 pineapple slices with salt and pepper. Grill pineapple until just tender, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to work surface; cut pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in bowl; mix in onion, cilantro, chili, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
• Grill shrimp until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa.

• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp to a large bowl and toss with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill the shrimp on each side until opaque and slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the shrimp to the 4 glasses with the salsa and top with the remaining salsa. Garnish with a plantain chip.

JERKED SHRIMP WITH MELON SALSA

• Meanwhile, toss cantaloupe, honeydew, cilantro, red onion, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice in medium bowl. Season salsa to taste with salt and pepper.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH MELON AND FETA

Steps:

• Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat the broiler. Make the fire as hot as it will get and, if using a broiler, put the rack close to the heat source.
• While the grill heats up, lightly crack the coriander seeds in a mortar and pestle, or with the side of a knife on a cutting board. (Careful: They can roll around.) Put them in a small dry skillet over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan once or twice until fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl.
• Using a Microplane or other grater, grate zest from both limes straight into the bowl with coriander. Grate in the garlic (no need to wash the grater in between), then add the chile and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk in oil.
• Pat shrimp dry, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with a pinch each salt and black pepper. Give the coriander mixture a stir, then pour half of it over the shrimp, reserving the rest for the salad. Toss shrimp to coat and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
• Cut the zested limes in half, squeeze out 2 tablespoons juice and whisk into the coriander mixture to make a dressing. Cut leftover lime into wedges.
• Arrange the shrimp in a grill basket or on skewers (or just on a sheet pan if broiling), and grill or broil shrimp until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until just opaque and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and squeeze a wedge of lime all over.
• In a large bowl, combine melon, cucumber, onion, feta and herbs. Pour in coriander dressing and toss to combine. Taste, and add more salt or lime juice to taste. Top melon salad with grilled shrimp and more herbs, if you'd like.

CARIBBEAN TIGER PRAWNS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• For the prawns: In a measuring cup, whisk together the agave, sugar, lemon juice and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl; reserve the rest in the cup for serving. To the marinade in the bowl, add the olive oil, chile flakes, paprika, garlic, ginger, orange zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the prawns, stirring to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• For the grilled pineapple salsa: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the pineapple cubes onto skewers. Grill until grill marks appear, turning once, 3 minutes per side. Remove the skewers from the heat; turn the heat down to medium.
• Remove the pineapple cubes from the skewers and place in a large bowl, along with the tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, parsley and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, then set aside.
• For the cilantro crema: Stir together the sour cream, agave, lemon juice and cilantro. Set aside.
• Grill the prawns: Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Remove the prawns from the marinade and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear and the prawns are cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Serve the prawns drizzled with the reserved marinade and the cilantro crema, and with the pineapple salsa on the side.
