The grilled jerked shrimp that I made last night was fantastic. The right amount of sweet and hot to offset one another. The mango salsa infused with fresh cilantro was a show stopper and the Riesling exploded with flavor when combined with the spiciness of the grilled shrimp. If you are looking to eat lighter and healthier this is definitely a meal for you. Not heavy, but fills you. The great thing about grilling food is that any fat is cooked off. This meal was absolutely delightful.
