Jerk Shrimp
This time last year, I was in the Caribbean dining on the most delicious jerk-everything. As a lover of all things rich and spicy, I was all over this deeply pungent and spiced tangle of flavors. This recipe is a culmination of a years endeavors to match that food memory and I hope you enjoy!

ahhh. maybe its the jamaican thing, but anything with jerk sauce reminds me of summah. im a total sucker for spiciness!
Mmm jerk is so good! So spicy and full of flavour! I like the idea of jerk shrimp. I’ve only really had it on chicken and other meats but seafood would be divine!
Oh, boy does your jerk shrimp look incredible! All the yummy flavors and spice…perfect to toss on the grill for this upcoming holiday weekend!
that is too complicated for me. can u just cover everything in chocolate + call it day? hahahhaa i still haven”t eaten any “Jerk” food yet. but wanting to try.
You’ve inspired me to try my jerk seasoning!
We love spicy flavors too, and your jerk shrimp sounds super delicious, Angie!
There are many out there who would love some shrimp like this
Jerk seasoning has the best flavor! THis sounds great.
This looks so flavorful! I love jerk chicken and can’t wait to try the shrimp version. Thanks for sharing Angela
I love jerked food and your shrimp skewers look terrific.
I love intensely spiced food and this recipe really hits the spot. We have a lot of Jamaican restos in my hood so never tried to make it. I should with this recipe.
I have never had Carribean food, but since it’s full of spices and, most of all, hot, I’m sure I would like it. I have already fallen in love with your jerk shrimp.
I love jerk even though it can be a little spicy sometimes. Don’t forget the rice and peas on the side!
