Jamaican Coconut Curry Shrimp

Jamaican food is up there on my list of favorite foods. I just love the spices and those deep curry flavors!

That is next to Thai and Indian curry recipes of course too. If you prefer to make this recipe without coconut milk see my other method here Jamaican Curry Chicken made with chicken stock instead. 

This curry is pretty unique and is also super simple to make. 

WHAT IS IN JAMAICAN SHRIMP COCONUT CURRY

  • It is made with fresh or frozen uncooked shrimp, scotch bonnet peppers or cayenne powder, onions, garlic, ginger, thick coconut milk and spices. 
  • Be certain to use “Jamaican curry” along with a thick coconut milk to make this curry authentic in taste!

Talk about an easy and healthy meal option ~ am I right?

HOW TO MAKE JAMACIAN COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

You can use whole onions and garlic for this recipe or powder.

I used the powder for this recipe to make it in under 15 minutes time.

Depending on the time you have and ingredients on hand, I’ll leave that option up to you. 

  • You will want to add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to a frying pan.
  • Turn up the heat to a low – medium and then add the curry powder, scotch bonnet peppers/sauce or cayenne pepper powder and saute till nice and fragrant.making JAMACIAN COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

WHAT IS JAMAICAN COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY

It has plenty of green peppers and shrimp that is slowly simmered in a blend of spices.

I like to use the sauce as it saves my eyes and hands from using the hot peppers. Feel free to substitute with cayenne pepper if you choose.
