Equipment

  • Cedar Plank
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 Lb Prawns deveined with tail on
  • 2 tbsp. Jamaican Jerk seasoning Savory and Spice
  • 2 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Lemon thinly sliced and halved
  • 2 Medium sized Cedar Planks
  • Dill for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375° F
  • Soak Cedar planks in water for 15 minutes each side to prepare.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add your peeled deveined shrimp. I prefer to keep the tail on. This just makes for a better look.
  • In a medium sized bowl, season shrimp with Jamaican Jerk seasoning and olive oil.
  • Mix together well and make sure every shrimp is coated with the seasoning.
  • Using wood or metal skewers shrimp and lemons.
  • For every two shrimp alternate adding lemon in between.
  • Place on a cedar plank or a baking sheet.
  • Bacon in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Once the shrimp is cooked, remove from the oven and enjoy a nice bed of sticky rice!

Notes

  • Make sure that you don't overcook your shrimp. Remember shrimp cook very quickly so 8 to 12 minutes is plenty in the oven.
  • Switch it up, if you don't like shrimp, you can use pork, chicken or even beef for the same technique and style of cooking.
