Jerk Shrimp

jerk-shrimp

This time last year, I was in the Caribbean dining on the most delicious jerk-everything.  As a lover of all things rich and spicy, I was all over this deeply pungent and spiced tangle of flavors.  This recipe is a culmination of a years endeavors to match that food memory and I hope you enjoy!

    Mmm jerk is so good! So spicy and full of flavour! I like the idea of jerk shrimp. I’ve only really had it on chicken and other meats but seafood would be divine!

    I love intensely spiced food and this recipe really hits the spot. We have a lot of Jamaican restos in my hood so never tried to make it. I should with this recipe.

    I have never had Carribean food, but since it’s full of spices and, most of all, hot, I’m sure I would like it. I have already fallen in love with your jerk shrimp.

  • Mary Frances says:

    I love jerk even though it can be a little spicy sometimes. Don’t forget the rice and peas on the side!
