Carefully turn fish over and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Serve fish with sauce.

The Broth

  • 4 large Scallions – rough chopped

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 1 pound large shrimp – shell on(20-30 count)

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut – shredded or flakes
  • 1 large Mango – peeled & cubed
  • 1 ounce Dark rum – optional

Instructions for Jamaican Hot Pepper Shrimp:

Bring 4 – 5 cups of water to a boil and add the Broth ingredients. The peppers will give off a strong vapor at first so you’ll want to have ventilation available. You can adjust the number and type of peppers to your taste but this should be a spicy dish. Lower the hear and simmer the broth for about 30 minutes.

Return the broth to a boil, add the shrimp and allow it to cook for a couple of minutes until the shrimp just start to turn pink. Then turn off the heat and leave the shrimp in the pot while it cools to room temperature. This should take about 20 – 30 minutes.

When the shrimp are cooled remove them from the broth and allow them to drain briefly.

Splash the rum over the mango and mix in the coconut shreds. Place a small amount of this mixture on the plate and scatter shrimp over it.
