Easy Jerk Shrimp

This is a very easy way to make jerk shrimp at home using any of the prepared wet jerk seasonings that are available (Spur Tree, Walkerswood, Grace etc). It is done in "Bunjay" style, which is frying the seasoning in a little oil until it starts to clump together, dries out a bit, then adding the shrimp and sauteing some more until the seasoning becomes slightly charred and sticks to the shrimp. Great as an appetizer or as a meal with salad.
10-12 large shrimp, cleaned and deveined
2 tablespoons Jerk seasoning of your choice
1 tablespoon Pickapeppa Sauce
1 tablespoon oil
Directions
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok. Add the jerk seasoning and pickapeppa sauce and saute until the seasoning starts to clump together and the flavor is released. Add the shrimp and stir fry until the seasoning starts to stick to the shrimp and they turn pink. Keep stirring until most of the seasoning has stuck to the shrimp. Plate and enjoy.
