0:41
[Music]
0:43
foreign
0:46
we had so much fun in St Lucia y'all
0:49
today we're incorporating a lot of the
0:51
Caribbean flavors that we tasted when we
0:53
were down there we've got some dry jerk
0:55
seasoning here and we've got some wet
0:57
jerk here and we're going to do a
0:58
marinade for some shrimp that's right
1:00
son now we're making jerk shrimp kebabs
1:03
I am peeling our Ginger
1:06
and I think that you need one and a half
1:09
teaspoons one and a half teaspoons now
1:11
you can't have a Caribbean Flavor
1:13
without jerk so you can find this off of
1:15
foodnetwork.com this is a jerk seasoning
1:18
we turn it into a marinade so we're
1:20
going to take a half a cup of this mom
1:21
okie doke
1:24
there's a bunch of different things in
1:26
this little bit of liquid so y'all go
1:28
online and check this out it's got super
1:30
duper flavor I love it and to this I'm
1:32
going to add half a cup
1:34
of olive oil
1:36
okay I could eat this
1:38
Ginger straight y'all got a half a cup
1:40
of oil I'm going in here and I'm gonna
1:42
whip this together
1:44
you're going to grate a little bit of
1:45
the ginger and we're going to dump our
1:47
shrimp right in here this is going to
1:49
marinate for about 15 minutes and soak
1:51
up some of these flavors I'm going to be
1:53
careful with my measurements on this
1:54
because I don't want to open this is
1:56
such a big flavor I don't want to
1:58
override the jerk with too much Ginger
2:00
okay are you gonna eyeball it looks that
2:04
looks about like
2:06
one and a half teaspoons it smells so
2:09
good so there you go
2:12
I'm gonna put we're using large shrimp
2:14
today I'm going to put these shrimp in
2:15
here and now while you're doing that I'm
2:18
gonna get started on a jerk wontons with
2:20
salsa let me get these colors I can cut
2:23
the whole stack at one time and these
2:25
are just a store-bought one ton look how
2:29
beautiful these shrimp are don't you
2:31
just know that it's gonna be good okay
2:33
going into the fridge for 15 minutes on
2:35
you okay you don't want to marinate fish
2:37
and seafood for very long because it'll
2:40
break it down and make it mealy these
2:43
little wontons feel so good
2:45
okay now what we're going to put on this
2:47
is the same exact seasoning that we put
2:49
on our shrimp except this doesn't have
2:51
any of the liquids in it this is just a
2:52
dry mix
2:54
this doesn't have any of the oils or any
2:56
of those things and I'm just going to
2:57
dust these with of course some butter I
3:00
want I want these to crisp up really
3:02
nice and brown and I also want this dry
3:04
rub to stick to them so we're going to
3:07
go with our favorite old staple I'm
3:10

10:09
of the skeleton out of it yeah I'm going
10:12

10:16
I have just cut our onion into chunks
10:20
I'm gonna put about pieces that big I
10:23
love a kebab I love kebabs too we're
10:25
going to just dress these with a little
10:29
olive oil and salt right that's right
10:32
probably a couple of tablespoons into
10:33
this it's just enough to toss and coat
10:36
these vegetables in what I have here
10:38
parsley to cut up that's gonna be our
10:39
garnish for a little bit later on all
10:41
right so I'm gonna just mince up our
10:44
parsley real good all right son and
10:47
we're just going to coat these
10:48
vegetables yeah you can throw our
10:49
tomatoes in there nice cherry tomatoes
10:52
probably about
10:54
15 or so you're just going to kind of
10:57
coat them in this oil and salt and
10:58
pepper and you and some onions and salt
11:00
and pepper
11:01
I'm good coated in olive oil throw the
11:05
peppers in there

turn this stuff over and try to get a
11:11
little bit of olive oil and salt and
11:12
pepper on to all these vegetables all
11:15
right there you go and so we're just
11:18
going to skewer these onto our wooden
11:19
skewer that's right just like you would
11:20
do any kind of kebab
11:24
I love like The Parsley makes them look

Bobby and then I'm going to toss this
12:13
into our rice
12:15
right at the last second yeah that looks
12:18

imagination you can do anything so
12:23
anything you want you know you can have
12:25
a lot of fun with a kebab yeah these
12:28

12:29
few minutes
12:32
feel like I'm back in St Lucia mama I
12:35
know I'm fixing to toss in the orange so
12:38
