11785 Jamaican Jerk Seasoning Paste 2/3 cup Wed Mar 26 10:45:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 17:20:43 -0700 2008 Jamaican Licensed http://www.chow.com/recipes/11785 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:20:43 GMT Jerk seasoning has many incarnations, but it is always hot and spicy. This hot and spicy all-purpose paste packs a punch, so use it in some moderation for chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, and fish. There are lots of variations on this classic, all-purpose seasoning paste from Jamaica. Everyone will agree, though, that allspice, garlic, thyme, and lots of Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles are absolute must-haves for a good jerk paste. A little bit really goes a long, long way. Just a few tablespoons will season a large chicken, 2 pounds large shrimp, 2 pork tenderloins, a 6-pound pork shoulder (bone-in), a large flank steak or 2 pounds skirt steak, or 2 to 3 whole 2-pound fish. Chicken and meat can marinate in it overnight, but fish and shellfish are fine with just a few hours.
