Jerk Shrimp


Those who love a little spice are sure to enjoy this grilled jerk shrimp recipe. It’s perfect for summer and outdoor grilling. This is shrimp coated with a jerk spice mixture and then grilled. The seasoning is a combination of sweet and spicy. Grilling shrimp is one of my favorite cooking methods for it; This is a Caribbean dish that is very easy to prepare and takes little effort. Serving with fresh mango salsa is a must. Enjoy.
