Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, about 1 1/2 cups salad and 2 to 3 ounces shrimp per serving

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon light or dark molasses
1 teaspoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided use
1 pound raw medium shrimp, peeled, rinsed and patted dry
Cooking spray
5 cups very lightly packed torn salad greens
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 8-ounce can pineapple tidbits in their own juice, drained, 2 tablespoons juice reserved
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, allspice, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Whisk in the lime juice, molasses, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Lightly spray the broiler pan with cooking spray.

    Step 3

    Let the marinade drip off the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the broiler pan.

    Step 4

    Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes. Turn over and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, gently toss the salad greens, bell pepper, and pineapple.

    Step 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, reserved pineapple juice, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Drizzle over the salad greens. Toss to combine. Top with the shrimp.
