Ingredients
- 3 tbs butter shopping list
- 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 Scotch bonnet or other hot pepper, seeded and finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped mint or parsley shopping list
- 4 green onions, finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup dark rum, preferably Rhum Barbancourt shopping list
- 2 to 3 tbs fresh lime juice shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
