Romantic Dinner Recipe: Jamaican Inspired Curry Shrimp and Scallops — The Buppie Foodie (1)

Thisquick, one-pot,Jamaican Curry Shrimp and Scallops recipe is a perfect dish to make for your significant other, after a long day at work. It’s tasty, yet fancy and easyto make. It only takes a maximum of 30 minutes to make this delicious dish. To save time, I always chop the vegetablesthe night or morning before I plan to make this meal. If I’m planning to use fresh Tiger Shrimp, I peel anddevein the shrimps ahead of time as well. Before you start this recipe, you should start a pot of rice so that the rice and curry are ready at the same time. Remember that the seafood should go during the last five minutes to avoid overcooking.

Wine Pairing Recommendations:Cupcake Vineyard – Riesling

Enjoy!
