I’m here with my drunken jerk prawns recipe that I made using some of the jerk seasoning I made the other day. Swimming in butter and sinfully spiced, these prawns are absolutely to die for. The truth is that the prawns were super tasty even though I only marinated them for 5 minutes. I did reserve the marinade and poured some over the prawns as they were searing and because of the sugar in the jerk spice and the alcohol it created a caramelization giving the prawns that nice color and shine. Trust me, so good. If you’d like some more info about Jerk spice, refer to my recipe for this spicy little seasoning here. I absolutely love how it pairs with these plump, succulent little shrimp. I can be the only one who loves my shrimp swimming in sauce, regardless of what the sauce may be – luckily this sauce is amazing!
Ingredients
Prawns – Jumbo prawns, properly cleaned with the tails still on. I’ve included directions for how to properly prep your shrimp below. Bourbon – Use any kind you like! Have some leftovers? Try my Bourbon Pecan Pie or Bourbon Chicken Lemon juice – Fresh is always best. You’re going to need quite a bit of it so pick up a few lemons. Parsley – Fresh and chopped up nice and fine my friends. Jerk spice – My recipe for it is perfect for this dish, if you have store bought lying around feel free to substitute – I suppose. Olive oil & butter – The high smoke point of the olive oil allows our butter to brown without burning, amazing!
