Caribbean Sweet and Spicy Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp in shells
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices packed in 100% juice, drained, and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper - halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups hot cooked brown rice
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Next, cover two large baking trays with aluminum foil.
2
To prepare the shrimp, carefully remove their shells and extract the veins. If you prefer to keep the tails intact, proceed with that.
3
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and gently pat them dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
4
In a spacious bowl, combine the shrimp with diced pineapple, bell peppers, red onion, jalapeno pepper, oil, and jerk seasoning. Mix the ingredients gently to avoid damaging them.
5
Divide the shrimp mixture evenly between the two prepared baking trays.
6
Place the trays in the preheated oven and roast until the shrimp are no longer translucent, taking approximately 15 minutes.
7
Once cooked, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top of the shrimp and serve alongside a side of brown rice accompanied by lime wedges.
