Jamaican Shrimp Pepper Pot Soup image

Also called callaloo, this dish has many guises and often is made with meats. The dish dates back to the Arawak Indians, who prepared a stew that was kept going on the fire with the addition of new ingredients every day. This version is made simply with shrimp.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less scotch bonnet pepper next time.
