Jerk Shrimp
This Jerk Shrimp recipe is a one skillet protein that utilizes pantry friendly ingredients to create a taste of the islands right in your own kitchen. It’s juicy, smoky, spicy, earthy, bright, and tangy all at the same time. Shrimp is one of the simplest, ridiculously easy meals on the planet and one of my favorite proteins to cook whether I have lots of time – or whether I have little time – because the succulent morsels drink up flavor and emerge hot, juicy and exploding with flavor.
The dance of flavors comes from a quick and easy marinade of lime juice, soy sauce, honey, ketchup, and homemade Jerk seasonings that takes just minutes to whip up. This simple Jerk Shrimp recipe can be cooked on the stove, in the oven or grilled (all instructions included) and it can be served with anything! Serve it plain as an appetizer or with rice, veggies and fruit or in salads, tacos, wraps, quesadillas. This Jerk Shrimp recipe is a chameleon of sorts in that it tastes fabulous with fresh ingredients such as pineapple and mangos, but it also tastes amazing with carbs such as pasta and rice, etc. (tons of ideas included) because you are going to want to devour this Jerk Shrimp any way you can!
