Time 55m

Yield 4 salads, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons jamaican jerk sauce (see Note)
20 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 1 pound)
3 cups cooked white rice
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1/2 pineapple)
6 thick scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
1 head boston lettuce, washed, dried and torn
lime slice (to garnish)

Steps:

Bring pineapple juice to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in lime zest and juice, oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, cinnamon and allspice. Let cool to room temperature.
Whisk together jerk sauce and 1/4 cup of the pineapple-juice marinade in a shallow dish just large enough to hold the shrimp. Add shrimp and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Toss rice and black beans in a large bowl with the remaining marinade. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Preheat grill.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade. (Discard the marinade.)
Thread 4 long or 8 short skewers with the shrimp, pineapple and scallions. Grill, turning once or twice, until the shrimp are cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes.
Arrange a bed of lettuce on a large platter. Spoon the rice-and-bean salad on top. Slide the shrimp, pineapple and scallions from the skewers onto the rice; garnish with lime slices.
