I make this Rasta Jerk Shrimp the same way I would make RASTA JERK SHRIMP PASTA. Or RASTA JERK CHICKEN PASTA. Both of those recipes are here on this blog!

RASTA JERK SHRIMP INGREDIENTS

• Jerked Shrimp
• 3 different bell peppers
• Cream or Milk
• Powdered Coconut Milk
• Garlic
• Butter 
• Salt to taste

You can always use just canned coconut milk in replace of the milk & powdered coconut milk if preferred. 

Also, you can add any type of cooked pasta to this dish as well. If you choose to do that, make sure to add more coconut milk to this recipe which will help to coat the pasta of your choosing.

What I like about this recipe is that it is super healthy, quick and easy to make.

Not to mention healthy as it has 3 types of bell peppers in it along with shrimp which is packed full of protein.

This dish can be enjoyed as a meal or appetizer!

LOOKING FOR A JERK SAUCE RECIPE? Try mine here on this blog, it is FRESH and Authentic and is the perfect marinade for this shrimp and any Jerk recipe. 

HOW TO MAKE JERK SHRIMP RASTA

• To make this dish you will want to start by marinated your shrimp in Jamaican Jerk sauce overnight if possible. However you omit that and cook it in the sauce that very day if you prefer.
• Keep in mind the more marinated you use the hotter this dish will be. I like my shrimp really Jerked so as you see I use allot of marinate. 
• Then simply sauté the shrimp till cooked then remove from the heat.
• In a pot heat some butter and sauté the garlic and sliced peppers = vegetables for a few minutes before adding in the heavy cream and coconut powder.
• Simmer on low=medium heat till the peppers are soft 
• Toss back in the cooked shrimp
• Bring to a low simmer for a few mins then serve hot.
