You could also try an old favorite:
This is from Jessica Haris's Sky Juice and Flying Fish
(You'll have to make it either early in the am or late pm to avoid heating
up the house.) Have this with a green salad, some bread, a few cold ones...
Janga (or as we like to call it Ganja Shrimp)
2 c distilled white vinegar (I usually use cider)
1 scotch bonnet-type chile, seeded (I add a few more & leave in the seeds)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, sliced (I usually use either red onion, or Vidalia type)
4 allspice berries, crushed
Salt & ground pepper
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled & deveined (I usually use uncooked & let
everything cook together)
Serves 4 - 6
In a small nonreactive saucepan, prepare a marinade from all the ingredients
except the shrimp. Heat the marinade over a medium flame until it boils.
Place the cleaned shrimp in a crock. Pour the boiling marinade over the
shrimp. Cover the crock & store in the refrigerator for at least 12 hrs
before serving. Serve chilled.
(I end up bringing the marinade to a boil simmer a couple of minutes, then
throw in the raw shrimp - the bigger the better. I put a cover on, simmer
for a minute, then turn the burner off. I let it sit until it's cool, then
put into a plastic container & put into the fridge. This way the shrimp
doesn't overcook. If you like onions, add a few more, they end up being a
really nice pickle.)
Classic beach fare for us!
