Best Peppered Shrimp In Jamaica (And The Caribbean)!

Question from Fiona, Spaldings, Clarendon:

"Can you leave the name of the roadside stall and location for the best pepper shrimp in Middle Quarter? I’ve been craving it so much and I haven’t been around the south coast in years so I don’t know anywhere down there! Coming from Spaldings. Thank you!!"

Answer by Wellesley:

Hi Fiona! I hear you loud and clear my friend! There’s just something about that Middle Quarters pepper shrimp that stays on your mind. You’ll be happy to know I have two personal recommendations, I can't pass there without stopping.

When you reach Middle Quarters, look out for Sharon and Omega - two wonderful ladies and close friends of mine who run one of the most authentic roadside shrimp stalls right at the roundabout. If you’re coming from the New Market side, they’re on the left-hand side, just as you approach the roundabout. You can’t miss them —they cook the shrimp fresh right there on the spot, using all the right ingredients: scotch bonnet peppers, pimento, seasoning—the whole works.

I featured them in one of my YouTube videos too, so if you want to see what you’re in for, check it out here: Watch Sharon & Omega’s Pepper Shrimp in Action.

Trust me, you’ll be glad you stopped by. And tell them Wellesley sent you - the man who did the video with them 😉.
