🔥 Spicy Jerk Shrimp – A Quick and Bold Caribbean Favorite

When it comes to bold, smoky, spicy flavor, jerk shrimp wins every time. This dish is the Caribbean’s answer to “What’s something fast, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable?” And guess what? You don’t need a grill on the beach or a passport stamp to make it happen — just some juicy shrimp and Noubess Jerk Seasoning.

Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or prepping a power bowl for one, this jerk shrimp recipe is ready in under 30 minutes and tastes like a tropical vacation.


🍤 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined; tail on or off – your call)
  • 2 tablespoons Noubess Jerk Seasoning (mild or hot — we don’t judge)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional but delicious)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped scallions (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

💡 Tip: Use extra-large shrimp if you're grilling. If you're sautéing, medium works just fine.


🔪 How to Make Jerk Shrimp

  1. Marinate the shrimp
    In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with Noubess Jerk Seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, and garlic. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb all that spicy, herby goodness.
  2. Cook your shrimp
    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer (don’t crowd them!). Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred on the edges.
  3. Serve and slay
    Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with lime wedges. Done. Boom. You’re officially a flavor boss.
