This dish was a big hit at my last party. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the jerk marinade was delicious. I would recommend serving it with a side of rice and peas for a complete meal.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The shrimp is incredibly flavorful and the jerk marinade is to die for. I would recommend making a double batch of the marinade so you can use it on other dishes.

This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great. I used a store-bought jerk marinade and it still came out very tasty. Served it with grilled pineapple and it was a perfect summer meal.

The shrimp turned out a little dry, but the jerk marinade was excellent. I would recommend cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time to prevent it from overcooking.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but still very good. I would recommend using less scotch bonnet pepper if you don't like spicy food. Otherwise, the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the flavors were well-balanced.
