Instructions

1

Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green plantain chunks and boil for 15-20 minutes until tender; drain and set aside.

2

In a wide skillet, bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the diced onions, garlic, and ground allspice. Cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

3

Add the cleaned shrimp to the simmering liquid. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and pink.

4

Fold in the fresh callaloo and the Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender, allowing the coconut milk to reduce slightly into a creamy, flavorful sauce.

5

Taste the sauce, adjusting heat with a touch more pepper sauce if desired.

6

Plate the shrimp and callaloo mixture in a shallow bowl, serving the boiled plantains on the side to soak up the creamy coconut gravy.
