Caribbean sauces like scotch bonnet always bring a wave of pepper to your mouth instantly. Scotch bonnet is a type of Caribbean pepper and is THE pepper of the region. When you’re cooking with scotch bonnet in the kitchen, the smell is as outstanding. Econa brand is one of the many sauces I grew up adding to my meals in secondary school. In my family, we’re accustomed to adding this scotch bonnet flavour to our food and that’s what I’m going to be using to make this recipe.
Scotch Bonnet Pepper Shrimp is a dish that consists of shrimp, scotch peppers and a lot of seasoning. I didn’t eat this growing up, but rather ate at other Caribbean friend’s houses or restaurants. The dish is a bit different from other spicy Caribbean dishes which usually are meat based such as curry goat or jerk chicken, but it’s extremely tasty. My recipe will be a little more simpler as I used prawns instead of shrimp and sauce rather than peppers (the peppers I have used are different in the pictures).
I have graded my recipe as level 7 on the ranking because while it’s pretty peppery, it’s not the spiciest I’ve ever eaten. It’s still worth making and I would love to know if you made it with a comment below. Let me know how it goes!
