    This was easy to make and really yummy! My picky fiance said it's a "keeper" I added peas to make it a complete meal. I only cooked the shrimp a total of 7 minutes and it was delicious! - 2/12/09

    Are you Jamaican? This is very similar to how I prepare it only that I add the coconut milk from the beginning, simmer it down to a thicker consistency as the shrimp adds more liquid to the gravy and add thyme, onion, pimento, whole scotch bonnet pepper and a sweet pepper cubed. - 2/9/09
