Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice plus 1 tablespoon (3 limes)
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated, peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
32 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 ripe but firm mango, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 8 slivers, each about 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grates
2 bunches watercress (about 12 ounces), tough stems trimmed

Steps:

Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat.

To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and ripe mangoes. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
To easily peel and devein the shrimp, use a pair of kitchen shears to cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the vein.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a grill pan over medium heat.
Serve the shrimp immediately with the mango salsa and lime wedges.
