    Jamaican hot pepper shrimp makes a delicious appetizer or could be served as a main for lunch.  It uses jerk marinade in the dressing so be sure to see the base recipe for jerk chicken, so you are prepared.  This has all the flavors of Jamaica and is easy to make, a perfect beginning to our Jamaican meal. Of course, since you have the jerk base, you might as well make the jerk chicken as well, you will love it!
