When you think of Caribbean recipes do you automatically think of HOT. FIRE…. It all doesn’t 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!
Jamaican Curry Shrimp
Ingredients
2 lbs Fresh Shrimp
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 Medium Onions, sliced
1/4 of a scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped up
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 sweet pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons Curry Powder
1 Tomato, chopped
Fresh Thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper
1 1/2 cups water
Directions
Peel, de-vein, and wash shrimp.
Heat oil in a large pan or dutch pot. Add the curry powder and continue to fry for two minutes. Then add the tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions, salt, pepper, garlic and thyme. Sautée for 5-10 minutes.
Then add water, bring the water to a boil then reduce. Add shrimp. You can add more thyme as well, I always do. Heat and
simmer for 10 minutes or until shrimp is cooked.
Serve with white rice, veggies, and fried plantains.
Enjoy!

Recipe does not tell you how to cook all the ingredients. What do you do with the onion and the sweet pepper? I will figure it out but it would be nice to have it in the narrative.
Joia, Sorry for not making it clear. I sauteed them in the pot. I have made the correction as well. Hope you enjoyed it!
i made the stew chicken it came out great/ do you have one for oxtails
Thank u
What brand of curry powder do you recommend using? I have not found a Jamaican powder to my liking so far.
[…] got this recipe from That’s So Yummy’s Jamaican Curry Shrimp and slightly adapted it to fit the ingredients I had on hand and take the heat up a few notches. […]
Going to try this
I cant wait to try this.curry shrimp is big in our house and the way we make it is pretty much exactly like yours except we put a whole scotch bonnet and a good amount of butter, thats how my father always made it,but since I am dieting now and refuse to sacrifice my curry shrimp I was looking for a healthier way to make it since I drown my rice with the juice but saw so many weird versions with a bunch of ingredients. so glad I found yours, definitely making tomorrow
