CARIBBEAN GRILL
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper using a wooden spoon. Set aside until ready for use.
- In a small bowl using a rubber spatula, mix the butter and curry together. Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread the honey mustard on the other side of the bread. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mango salsa on the bread followed by the Swiss cheese. (You may need to fold the cheese slices to fit the bread.) Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of curry butter to a nonstick skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cover with lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Flip the sandwiches with a spatula and press very firmly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Turn once more, press with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut diagonally and serve with extra salsa on the side.
CARIBBEAN GRILLED SCALLOP SALAD
Boston lettuce has a mild taste and tender texture. Rinse it gently, pat dry and refrigerate with moistened paper towels until ready to assemble salad. (Total time: 16 mins.)This is a very nice and pretty salad dish. Cooking Light Magazine, August/05. Making of the salad included in prep time -- not cooling time. Update 06/19/2008 - after making this again I tweaked it a bit; the first thing I did was used a rub that I used for another dish - recipe #283294 which added quite a kick! Also, I was remiss about including Emeril's Creole Seasoning recipe #146819 number. Also, used a vinaigrette that I had for another salad and added more of the mango chutney!!!:)

Steps:
- Prepare your shrimp, and leave in the fridge until you're ready.
- Next, mix the rum, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, chopped basil, olive oil, garlic salt and juice from 2 of the limes.
- Using a chocolate grater, add the zest from the third lime to the mix.
- Use the juice from the last lime, and add that to the mix as well.
- Place your shrimp into the liquid, and leave for between 1 - 2 hours. (60 minutes seems to be the magic number for us, because after that, the rum is a little overpowering).
- Grill on a hot barbeque about 2-3 minutes each side, or until pink. The caramelisation is amazing!
- In absence of a barbeque, pan frying or broiling is good too.
- We serve on stir fried vegetables (using the juice from the mix) and pasta.
- ENJOY!
