goat meat

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than goat.

scotch bonnet pepper

🥗Healthier: jalapeño

💰Cheaper: serrano pepper

Jalapeños offer heat with less intensity and are easier to find.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Vinegar provides acidity at a lower cost.

bay leaves

🥗Healthier: dried oregano

💰Cheaper: dried basil

Oregano and basil can mimic the herbal notes of bay leaves.

Clean the shrimp by removing the shell and intestinal tract, leaving the tails on.

Squeeze lime juice over the cleaned shrimp and rinse with cold water.

Marinate the shrimp with apis and mix well.

Add dry spices (onion powder, garlic powder, Old Bay, clove powder, salt, thyme, cayenne pepper) to the shrimp and mix again.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the shrimp, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.

Remove the partially cooked shrimp and set aside.

Add cooking margarine to the pan and let it melt.

Stir in tomato paste and cook to get the raw edge off.

Pour water into the bowl used for marinating the shrimp to capture the flavors and mix it with the tomato paste.

Add minced garlic to the sauce and mix well.

Return the shrimp to the pan and stir into the sauce.

Add chopped onions and bell peppers, mix, then lower the heat and cover for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables.

Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
