    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Coat a grill rack from an outdoor gas grill with cooking spray and set it 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill to medium high. If you think your shrimp will fall through the grilling rack, prepare a fish basket to grill the shrimp. Coat the inside of the basket with cooking spray.
    2. Drizzle the shrimp with the olive oil. Combine the cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper and rub onto the shrimp.
    3. Add the shrimp directly to the grill rack or place in a single layer in the fish basket. Grill the shrimp for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Meanwhile, add the lemon halves, cut side down, to the grill, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the lemon is slightly charred.
    4. Add the grilled shrimp to a platter. Garnish with the grilled lemon halves and minced parsley.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small, dry skillet, toast the caraway seeds over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just until lightly browned and fragrant; set aside. When the oven is hot, add 2 tsp. of the vegetable oil to a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Heat the pan in the oven for 5 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds.

    3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk. Add the buttermilk, honey, and the 1/4 cup vegetable oil.

    4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

    5. Carefully add the batter to the hot skillet and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the cornbread is cooked through and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 16 same-sized wedges and serve warm.

    3. Meanwhile, prepare the sides. Add the jicama to a medium bowl and sprinkle it with the lime juice and chili powder; set aside.
    4. Add the shallot-pepper sauce to a blender and purée until smooth. Set aside.
    5. Sprinkle the fish with the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the fish fillets and sear for about 5 minutes per side. Reheat the pepper sauce in a small saucepan, if necessary. Serve the fish on top of a pool of the sauce, with 1 tortilla and 1/2 cup jicama per serving.
