This is one of the easiest and most popular dishes that I’ve ever made. Simply throw the ingredients together and let marinade overnight in the fridge. And to top it off, it’s a great looking dish with all the colors.

Preparation method

Prep: 5 hours 15 mins

1. Place shrimp in bowl and add chopped scotch bonnet, green and red pepper slices and onion slices.

2. Chop up the cilantro and add that and the crushed red pepper to the bowl as well. Toss around to make sure there is an even coating of the cilantro and red pepper.

3. Squeeze juice of limes into separate bowl and add ketchup. Stir together and pour over the shrimp and peppers. Cover and let marinade for 5 hours in the refrigerator.
