jerk barbecue shrimp with "garlic butter" broccoli!

I know it’s winter, but I had to put together one of my favorite meals for Asenath and Ailah today. I originally made 'jerk barbecue wings' but they’re pescatarians now. It’s quick and easy to make, here is how it's made...

1 pound of shrimp (add lemon or lime), minced onions, green pepper, red pepper, and cilantro. Jamaican jerk seasoning and your favorite barbecue sauce.

Jerk seasoning and ingredients are added, along with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, parsley flakes and oregano leaves. (...you can also add pimento and/or thyme). Place in fridge for 1 hour or more.

Fry your shrimp with butter or olive oil then quickly remove them from the frying pan. Create your sauce with the rest of the ingredients from the bowl and add your barbecue sauce (just pour it in) and 1/2 cup of water.

Return the shrimp to the frying pan and let it finish cooking in the jerk/barbecue sauce (until everything is coated) for about 5 minutes. For the broccoli, toss in garlic and butter (add salt) and let them cook how you like it. Enjoy!
