Caribbean Jerk Shrimp with Mango-Pineapple Salsa
Spicy jerk-seasoned grilled shrimp topped with a sweet-tangy mango-pineapple salsa — a vibrant, low-fat tropical dinner.
Jerk seasoning brings the heat here — allspice, thyme, scotch bonnet, and a touch of brown sugar rubbed onto shrimp before a quick sear — while a fresh mango-pineapple salsa cools things down with natural sweetness and crunch.
Shrimp cooks in just minutes and is naturally low in fat, so most of this dish's calories come from real, whole ingredients: the tropical fruit salsa and a small amount of oil, rather than any heavy sauce. That balance of spicy and sweet makes it feel like a real treat while staying easy to fit into a calorie-conscious dinner rotation.
Serve it with a small scoop of rice or straight over greens, and keep extra lime wedges on hand for squeezing over the top.
Ingredients
Most ingredients here are everyday market staples across West Africa. A handful of specialty items may be easiest to find at a local open-air market or an African grocery store if you're elsewhere.
