The heat, seasonings and appearance of this colorful main-dish salad are perfect for summer—or any time of year that you want to summon memories of sunshine.

INGREADIENT

    • 1/3 cup uncooked whole wheat orzo pasta
    • 1/2 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
    • 1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning
    • 1 medium ear sweet corn, husked
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 6 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
    • 1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
    • 3 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Direction

    1. Cook orzo according to package directions. Rinse with cold water; drain well. Meanwhile, toss shrimp with jerk seasoning; thread onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Brush corn with oil.
    2. On a covered grill over medium heat, cook corn until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook asparagus until crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill shrimp until they turn pink, 1-2 minutes per side.
    3. Cut corn from cob; cut asparagus into 1-in. pieces. Remove shrimp from skewers. In a large bowl, combine orzo, grilled vegetables, shrimp and red pepper. Whisk together dressing ingredients; toss with salad.
