LIME-GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Soak 8 wooden skewers in water at least 30 minutes. Heat broiler. In a small saucepan, combine honey, lime zest and juice, oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 7 minutes. Skewer shrimp. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with glaze. Broil 3 minutes, flip, brush with glaze, and cook until shrimp are opaque and glaze is beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.

GUAVA-LIME GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine nectar, orange juice and vinegar in heavy medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 30 minutes. Cool completely. Mix in lime juice. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

RUM-GLAZED SHRIMP AND MANGO

Steps:

• Make glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup lime juice, rum, sugar, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into lime-juice mixture. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Thread shrimp onto 8 skewers, using 4 shrimp per skewer. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Thread mango slivers onto 4 skewers, using 2 pieces per skewer. Brush shrimp and mango all over with glaze.
• Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates. Place shrimp and mango skewers on grill; cook, turning once, until blackened in spots and shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining tablespoon lime juice with the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress; toss to coat.
• To serve, divide watercress among four plates; top each with 2 shrimp skewers and 1 mango skewer.
