About
YEAH MON! Jamaican pepper shrimp is a simple and delicious dish. Growing up, we didn't get to eat this much as shrimp was quite pricey, but if you have ever been a tourist in Jamaica, you have probably tried this as the locals will try to sell it to you or you might have it in a resort restaurant.
