🇯🇲 Jamaica recipe
Jamaican Pepper Shrimp
Pepper shrimp is one of Jamaica's most addictive roadside snacks, famously sold by vendors in Middle Quarters, St. Elizabeth, along the road from the south coast. Tiny freshwater shrimp are cooked in a fiery sauce dominated by scotch bonnet peppers and black pepper until the shells are infused with heat. They are eaten whole, shell and all, as a spicy, crunchy snack.
