Ingredients

454 g Shrimp
2 pcs Scotch bonnet pepper
1 tbsp All-purpose seasoning
2 tsp Ground annatto
2 tsp Allspice
0.75 cup Shrimp or vegetable broth
0.25 cup Yellow onion
2 clove Garlic
2 tbsp White vinegar
3 pcs Thyme
to taste Salt

Instructions

Peel and devein the shrimp and finely mince the Scotch bonnet pepper. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the pepper, all-purpose seasoning, ground annatto, and allspice. Toss well until the spices evenly coat the shrimp, then let marinate for 10 minutes.
In a large pot or skillet, heat the broth over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, and cook for approximately 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the marinated shrimp and thyme sprigs directly to the broth, arranging them in a single layer. Cover with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn bright orange and are completely cooked through.
Stir in the white vinegar and cook for another minute. Taste the dish and season with salt if needed. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and pour the hot broth from the bottom of the pot over them. Serve immediately while hot.
