Now that you have all the goodies, let’s get cooking!

First things first; in a bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let that marinate for about 15 minutes. Think of it as a little spa treatment for your shrimp!
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it’s fragrant—about 30 seconds. If you’ve got company, they’ll be begging for a taste already!
Now, toss in those Scotch bonnet peppers (be careful with these spicy little devils!) along with thyme, allspice, and paprika. Stir it up and let the flavors mingle for about a minute.
Time to add the star of the show: the shrimp! Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Don’t forget to give them a little nudge around the pan. They want to make friends with all that seasoning!
Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot and watch everyone’s eyes light up!

And there you have it! A vibrant, spicy dish that’s sure to impress and delight. What a way to ignite your dining experience! Enjoy your Jamaican Spicy ‘Pepper’ Shrimp adventure!
