Morant Villas - Jamaican Shrimp
From wolfpackjack 16 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 10
Years ago, I traveled frequently to the southeast side of Jamaica while installing some equipment there. The food there was always fresh and dependent on what was caught that day or available at the local Market.
