Caribbean Jerk Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup distilled vinegar
  • 1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 green onions, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dried thyme
  • 2 habanero peppers, stemmed
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • heavy duty aluminum foil
Instructions
1
Heat the grill to a medium-high temperature before starting to cook.
2
To create the jerk seasoning, combine soy sauce, vinegar, onion, olive oil, green onions, thyme, habanero peppers, sugar, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a food processor. Process the mixture for approximately 15 seconds to achieve the desired consistency.
3
Create a makeshift bowl by shaping foil into a cup-like shape. Place the shrimp inside and pour enough jerk seasoning over them to cover the entire surface.
4
Place the foil bowl on the grill and seal it by folding the top over, leaving a small gap to allow steam to escape. Cook for around 10 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink, stirring occasionally.
5
To serve, transfer the cooked shrimp to a medium-sized bowl.
6
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining jerk seasoning over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon this heated sauce over the cooked shrimp.
