This recipe reminds so much of the taste of vacation that I HAD to share it! We tasted it a few years ago, and begged the chef for the recipe just about everyday during our stay! A few simple ingrediants, 1- 2 hours of marinade time, and VOILA! The compliments will just keep on coming!

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb large shrimp, thawed, deveined and unshelled
1/3 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper (4 pepper mix is best)
4 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
4 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 limes, fresh
2 teaspoons garlic salt

Steps:

  • Prepare your shrimp, and leave in the fridge until you're ready.
  • Next, mix the rum, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, chopped basil, olive oil, garlic salt and juice from 2 of the limes.
  • Using a chocolate grater, add the zest from the third lime to the mix.
  • Use the juice from the last lime, and add that to the mix as well.
  • Place your shrimp into the liquid, and leave for between 1 - 2 hours. (60 minutes seems to be the magic number for us, because after that, the rum is a little overpowering).
  • Grill on a hot barbeque about 2-3 minutes each side, or until pink. The caramelisation is amazing!
  • In absence of a barbeque, pan frying or broiling is good too.
  • We serve on stir fried vegetables (using the juice from the mix) and pasta.
  • ENJOY!

CARIBBEAN SHRIMP BOWL



Caribbean Shrimp Bowl image

After switching to a paleo diet a few years ago, we have started eating tons of veggies for almost every meal-yes, even breakfast. We've gotten used to swapping in cauliflower, broccoli and kale in place of carbs like rice or potatoes. This bowl is literally chock-full of veggies and has tons of Caribbean-inspired flavor! Plus, it is so simple to make and uses one skillet! -Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
