Caribbean Jerk Shrimp image

This is a quick and simple recipe that is as appropriate for a tailgate party as it is to serve your boss or in-laws. Serve as a finger food with or without cocktail sauce.

Time 10m

Yield 1 pound, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 lb jumbo shrimp
caribbean jerk seasoning, McCormick
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

I use 1 pound jumbo shrimp, precooked frozen, peeled and deveined, tails can be either on or off.
The most important thing to remember with this recipe is to completely thaw the precooked, frozen shrimp in a colander. When most of the water drains off, pat dry the shrimp as much as possible with paper towels. (Or start with fresh, peeled, deveined shrimp, precooked. A lot of grocers will steam them at no extra charge.).
Turn your burner on medium high (almost high) and set your large non stick skillet or wok over the burner. When skillet begins to get really hot, but NOT smoking, quickly add the melted butter and shrimp.
Sprinkle on the Caribbean Jerk Seasoning to taste. It's hot and spicy so be careful if you don't like the heat.
Keep the shrimp moving in the pan, glazing the shrimp with the hot butter and spices.
Cook just until hot and slightly browned. (only about 3 minutes or even less depending on the heat of your skillet).
You can also make these in the broiler or on the grill after tossing the shrimp in melted butter, sprinkling on Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and spreading them on a broiler pan or open grill. Broil for only 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor.
Make sure to devein and clean the shrimp before cooking.
Use a sharp knife to score the shrimp, this will help the marinade penetrate the shrimp and make them more flavorful.
Don't marinate the shrimp for too long, or they will become tough.
Use a variety of peppers in the marinade, such as scotch bonnet peppers, habanero peppers, and bell peppers, to create a complex flavor.
Add some citrus juice, such as lime juice or orange juice, to the marinade to brighten the flavor.
Use a heavy-duty aluminum foil to wrap the shrimp. This will help to keep the shrimp moist and prevent them from burning.
Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat until they are cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Serve the shrimp immediately, with your favorite sides such as rice and beans, salad, or fried plantains.

Conclusion:

Jamaican Jerk Shrimp in Foil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or any casual gathering. The jerk marinade gives the shrimp a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
