Curried shrimp is a very loved dish in Jamaica, but not all homes will make this dish, as it can be an expensive dish to make. You may find that shrimp are more expensive than some fish and some people would rather buy fish. You may find curried shrimp dinner in some of the restaurants or hotels. There are many ways to cook shrimp but below is one of my favorite way.
