    4 teaspoons curry powder
    1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 36 shrimp)
    2 cups water
    2/3 cup light coconut milk
    1 1/4 cups uncooked long-grain rice
    3/4 cup shredded carrot
    2 cups diced peeled mango (about 2 mangoes)
    1 1/2 cups diced red bell pepper
    1/2 cup sliced green onions
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Cooking spray
    Cilantro sprigs (optional)

    Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat. Cover and chill 1 hour.

    Bring water and coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Add carrot and next 7 ingredients (through salt); toss gently to combine.

    Prepare grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

    Thread 3 shrimp onto each of 12 (6-inch) skewers. Place skewers on grill rack or grill pan coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done. Serve skewers over salad. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.

    6 servings (serving size: 2 skewers and about 1 cup salad)
