Harvest Swiss chard from the garden and wash it thoroughly, chopping it into pieces for easier cleaning.

Trim off any tarnished leaves and cut the stems and leaves separately.

Season shrimp with sea salt, black pepper, olive oil, curry powder, and caribbean green seasoning; mix well.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the shrimp, cooking for about 1.5 minutes until 75% cooked, then remove and set aside.

Add more olive oil to the pot, then add diced garlic and optionally diced onion and scotch bonnet pepper; sauté for about a minute.

Add the chopped stems of the Swiss chard to the pot, using the water from washing the chard to deglaze the bottom of the pot.

After 2 minutes, add salt and black pepper to taste, then incorporate the leaves of the Swiss chard and cook until wilted.
