Jerk seasoning, which has its roots in Jamaican cuisine, has three main ingredients: chile pepper, allspice berry and thyme. Be warned: If you can't stand the heat, get jerk out of your kitchen. Deleting or substituting other ingredients for the pepper is not really an option: Jerk seasoning is all about the heat. The simple variation is perfect for curious first-timers.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp. jerk seasoning
  • 3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4 just-ripe bananas, sliced into rounds (optional)
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cubed (optional)

Jerk Seasoning:

  • 2 tsp. allspice berry, ground

Garnish:

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Cooking Directions

  1. Several hours before you are ready to serve, prepare the jerk seasoning. You can also use McCormick® Gourmet Collection Jerk Seasoning.
  2. Combine jerk seasoning with olive oil and lime juice to create a loose paste and marinate Colossal Uncooked Shrimp in a plastic bag or airtight non-reactive mixing bowl (30 minutes to an hour).

Assembly:

  1. While you are waiting for the fire in your grill to get hot, thread marinated shrimp, banana rounds and pineapple cubes (optional) onto skewers. Discard the marinade.
  2. Place skewers on hot grill (over indirect heat) and allow them to cook, turning once, until shrimp becomes opaque (about 6 minutes).
  3. Remove skewers from the grill to a large serving platter and garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro. Serve jerk shrimp over aromatic white rice.
