🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor and is healthier.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

Lemon juice maintains acidity, while vinegar can be used for tang.

allspice

🥗Healthier: mixed spices

Mixed spices can mimic the flavor profile of allspice.

Rinse shrimp with cool water and lime juice.

Prepare a pot with water and add ingredients for flavor.

Cut a small piece of red scotch bonnet pepper and add it to the water.

Add crushed red pepper sauce to the water.

Stir to ensure all shrimp are touching the liquid for flavor absorption.

Cover the pot and let it cook for a few minutes.

Serve without any liquid and add a dash of crushed red pepper sauce on top.
