  Island breezes are sure to stir, even in winter, when you serve this salad.

  

Ingredients

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

  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

  

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.
