Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with minced Scotch Bonnet peppers, all-purpose seasoning, ground annatto, and grounf allspice. Toss well to coat evenly and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
