When you think of Caribbean recipes do you automatically think of HOT. FIRE…. It all doesnt have to be that way.  With this dish in particular Curry Shrimp can be made to suit your own taste buds whether that means mild or pepper hot.  Personally I LOVE my food with lots of kick and fire but not everyone has an iron stomach like me, just try my Curry Chicken and see what I’m talking about.

The best part about this recipe is that its quick, easy, and healthy for you.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
