TROPICAL SHRIMP

Good Grief!  OMG!  Wow!  Here I am working on the cookbook and trying to develop some new recipes for you for the cool weather and wham, bam!  100 degree weather again.  Now I must do a 360 degree turn about and give you something cool and refreshing for this hot, hot weekend.  You can make this for just one, or on a large platter for your family.

TROPICAL SHRIMP

Serves 4

16 JUMBO SHRIMP
Paprika
1 Papaya
2 Mangoes
1 Pineapple
2 Avocados
1/2 thinly sliced sliced red pepper
Bibb Lettuce
Lemon Juice (2 Lemons)
Lime juice (2 Limes)
Honey
Olive oil

Prepare your fruit.  Cut the papaya, mangoes and pineapple into bite sized pieces.  Slice the avocado and sprinkle with a little lemon juice and set aside.  Toss all the fruit together with the red pepper and set aside.  Brush the shrimp with olive oil and paprika and grill for just a couple of minutes on each side until pink and done.  On a platter arrange the leaves of the bibb lettuce.  Mix the lemon and lime juice with a heaping tsp of honey.  Pour over the fruit.  Put the fruit evenly on top of the lettuce.  Put the slices of avocado around the fruit. Arrange the shrimp on top of the fruit.  Serve with slices of grilled Ciabatta.  And.....a glass of chilled White Wine.  This dish will keep you cool and satisfied this hot weekend.

Thanks for stopping in today
