Jamaican Curry Shrimp Recipe

Hey there, hungry foodies! Today, I'm sharing with you my Jamaican Curry Shrimp recipe that will make your taste buds dance with joy. So, remember that one time when I accidentally mistook cayenne pepper for paprika in this recipe? Let's just say my taste buds were on fire for days! Lesson learned: always double-check your spice jars, folks! Now, a little tip for you: to really amp up the flavor, try marinating the shrimp in the curry powder and seasoning for a bit longer, like 30 minutes. Trust me, it makes a world of difference! Alright, let's get cooking! While your shrimp is marinating, chop up those veggies and get them sizzling in the skillet. And don't forget to wear gloves when handling that scotch bonnet pepper unless you want a spicy surprise later on! Once everything is cooked to perfection, pour in the unsweetened coconut milk for a creamy finish that ties all the flavors together. Serve it up hot and enjoy the taste of the Caribbean right in your own kitchen. Cheers to delicious mishaps and flavorful adventures in cooking!

Directions

  1. 1

    Season shrimp with 1 Tablespoon of curry powder and all-purpose seasoning and set aside for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients like chopping your onions, peppers, and garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced yellow onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, if using, and chopped garlic and stir for 5 minutes, until peppers are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Add 1.5 Tablespoons of curry powder to the skillet and stir for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Then add coconut milk, seasoned shrimp, ketchup, and thyme, making sure the shrimp is covered in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Allow the sauce to come to a simmer and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and flipping the shrimp halfway, until the shrimp is fully cooked on both sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
