Polly's Reggae-Style Cooking Traditional Jamaican Dishes Curried Shrimp from http://www.jamaicarecipe.com/new_page_2.htm Jamaicans love curry especially if it is spicy and hot. I suppose this is part of our Indian heritage and culture. Curried dishes, particularly goat and chicken, are sometimes stretched (to increase the serving amount) with potatoes or dumplings. I also like tomatoes diced in curry shrimp, because it add a nice flavour and colour. You can make a curried sauce and then add the shrimp, as shrimp needs very little cooking time. You may however add whatever vegetables you like, to your curried dishes.
Ingredients
Method Heat oil in a frying and add crushed garlic and curry, stir-fry until it begins to simmer and smell. Do not burn. Add salt, scotch bonnet pepper, jerk sauce, escallion to stir-fry for 1 minute. Add water and potatoes simmer until potatoes are cooked and add shrimp. Cook for no longer than 5 minutes. Add diced onions, sweet pepper and cornstarch mixed with tablespoon water. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until gravy thickens (if too thick add a little water) Turn off heat and stir in tomato wedges and serve with white rice Serves 4- 6 persons
