  • 2 tbsp Local mint (Fresh and finely chopped)
  • 1/4 C Feta cheese (crumble )
  • 1/3 C Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lime/lemon juice
  • 1 pack Cuisine budget pack Shrimp (rinsed and patted dry)
  • 3 tbsp Jerk seasoning
  • 2tbsp Cuisine Soya-bean Oil
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black pepper – to taste

Method

  1. Wash and prepare all ingredients as instructed.
  2. In a bowl, add the shrimp and season with jerk rub, salt and black pepper. Massage well to make sure everything is fully coated.
  3. Heat the Soya bean oil on a medium flame.
  4. Once the pan is hot, add the shrimp and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Then set aside. Note well: shrimp cooks very quickly; be sure to keep a medium to low flame. Cover to incorporate some steam action and help the cooking process along.
  5. To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil and lime/lemon juice in a bowl. Then add salt and black pepper to taste. (Note: some chilli flakes can be added to spice things up.)
  6. In a large salad dish, place the lettuce leaves, top with watermelon, mint leaves and shrimp. Toss well.
  7. Sprinkle the feta cheese and drizzle the vinaigrette.
  8. Serve and enjoy right away!
