Pepper Prawns

Overview

Delicious, quick and easy prawns made in just 10 minutes – these prawns have a wicked peppery sauce made from Jamaican spices and chilli. A real authentic recipe, it’s a favourite in the Caribbean, and always goes down well.

In Jamaica, street sellers sell them fresh in a plastic bag. Known by the locals as “swimmers” or “pepper swims,” they’re cooked in the shell for a juicier texture. Whether you’re a shell-on or shell-off person, no matter! The flavours are fantastic either way.
