I love this dish! I double it every time deliberately to have leftovers. I freeze them in single-size portions and it reheats well. My spin on the recipe:Double everything, but triple the sauce. I only add double amount of vinegar, though, to cut down on the sharpness it adds.I add one purple onion, thinly sliced, and saute' it lightly with the red onion before mixing with the rest.Delicious recipe!

This was AMAZING. The only thing I'm going to change next time is to make the sweet corn inside and stir fry the asparagus inside, as we have a very small grill.

This salad was fantastic. Even tho I modified it. I used Creole seasoning instead of the Jerk seasoning.. because thats what I had at home.I also pan roasted the corn and asparagus and pan roasted the shrimp, as it was too hot outside to grill. I made a simpler dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper (I did make the other and found it too diluted with the water and vinegar... (no need to have both vinegar and lime/lemon juice in the same recipe IMHO). All in all, it was met by rave reviews and i will most definitely make this again. I also used tomato instead of red pepper because we don't like em.

Incredible! We loved this recipe and made no changes except doubled it as it only serves 2. It was delicious. The jerk seasoning I used was a recipe from Cooking Light for the jerk corn on the cob. Try it...you'll love it!!

Excellent flavor! This recipe reminds me of eating out on the porch. We substitute chicken and double the amount of orzo. This is a keeper!

While it was alot of work, it was awesome. Had to substitute the asparagus due to allergy. There were NO LEFTOVERS on this one and fights over who got to eat seconds.

This recipe tased great! It was too cold to grill outside, so I did everything inside in a skillet. It still turned out. Personally, we did need a little more dressing, so I did make a double portion of that (I know, not as healthy). No corn on the cob here now, so I used frozen corn.I will definitely make this again!KLW

A few modifications: roasted frozen corn (1 cup) and fresh asparagus (25 spears cut into 1-inch pieces) in oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes instead of grille. 1 cup orzo, 1 pound shrimp, 2 peppers. Used 1 tsp jerk seasoning as it was a bit too spicy the first time. Broiled shrimp in toaster oven instead of grille. Also, we doubled the dressing since increased other ingredients - needed to increase qty. This served about 4 adults, and prep/cook time about 25-30 minutes total using oven instead of grille.
