Ingredients

3 tbs butter

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Scotch bonnet or other hot pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh chopped mint or parsley

4 green onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup dark rum, preferably Rhum Barbancourt

2 to 3 tbs fresh lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and shrimp. Cook for 1 minute.

Stir in scotch bonnet pepper, mint, green onions, rum, lime juice, salt and pepper. Increase heat and cook until shrimp are done. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish.

Over high heat, bring the sauce to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice to taste. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and serve at once.

Update: I just made this and next time I would use the parsley or cut down on the mint. I would also either omit the rum, or allow the sauce to simmer longer to eliminate or temper the strong rum flavor.
