           Salt and pepper; to taste
           Fresh lime wedges and
           -cilantro; for garnish

MMMMM-----------------------CARIBBEAN SLAW----------------------------
      2 c  Red cabbage; shredded
      2 c  Green cabbage; shredded
    1/2 c  Red onion; shredded
      3    Carrots; Julienne
      1 c  Jicama; shredded
      1    Cucumber; peeled, seeded,
           -and sliced thinly
      3    Green onions or scallions;
           -sliced in 1/4" pieces
           Salt and pepper; to taste

MMMMM--------------------------DRESSING-------------------------------
      1 c  Plain yogurt; sour cream, or
           -crème fraiche
      1    Jalapeno or Serrano chile;
           -or Habanero Chile if you
           -are brave
    1/2 c  Fresh cilantro; chopped
      2 tb Fresh garlic; minced
      1    Lime; juice of
      1 tb Honey or sugar
      1 tb Mint chopped (optional)
           Salt; to taste
           Freshly-ground pepper; to
           -taste

  Caribe Shrimp:

  Combine the ingredients to include the Orange and ginger sauce
  packets in a small bowl, whisk thoroughly. Pour 1/2 mixture over the
  shrimp and combine well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or so.

  Heat 1 tb oil in a medium sized skillet (8 to 10") and sauté the
  Shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes or until done. Pour remaining sauce in pan
  and reduce volume by half. Pour sauce over plated orange shrimp and
  serve immediately with lime wedges and sprinkle of cilantro.

  I find that the Orange-Cumin flavor component of this dish along with
  a slight chile heat works well with any seafood and with shrimp in
  particular. In addition to the garnish of a squeeze of lime and
  chopped cilantro, I like to serve this with Cuban style rice and
  black beans and the cilantro sauce slaw below:

  Caribbean Slaw:

  Mix slaw ingredients together.

  Cilantro Dressing:

  Seed and rib the pepper, (cut in half, place outer skin side down and
  then fillet the rib and seeds off as you would a fish and then chop
  the flesh). Seeding and ribbing a chile reduces the residual heat.

  Combine ingredients and process in a blender or food processor until
  smooth. If too thick, carefully add more a bit more dairy. Use
  immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Add to the slaw mix,
  stirring well. Refrigerate to let the slaw meld together.
