Spicy Caribbean Shrimp with Mango-Chile Sauce
Report
These Caribbean Fire Shrimp combine spicy habanero and scotch bonnet peppers with some tropical sweetness from mango and pineapple. What began as a recipe to use up peppers from our garden, has become one of our favorite Caribbean inspired dishes.

Ingredients
- 3 habanero peppers Caribbean Red
- 4 Scotch bonnet peppers
- 3 sweet pepper
- 3 shishito peppers mild peppers such as Mad Hatter or serrano
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 Anaheim pepper
- ½ white onion diced
- 1 inch ginger peeled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 8.25 ounce pineapple crushed, in heavy syrup
- 15 ounce Mango diced, in heavy syrup
- ¼ cup light beer
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers. Consider wearing gloves when handling the hot peppers.
- Add the peppers, onion, ginger, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until everything is evenly and finely diced.
- Add in the liquid ingredients, brown sugar, and canned fruit with their syrups. Pulse in the food processor until well combined. (See Note)
- You will need about 1 pint (2 cups) of sauce for 20 shrimp. Reserve about ½ a cup for basting the shrimp, then use the remaining 1.5 cups to marinate the shrimp. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. You can use shelled or shell on shrimp for this recipe, but the recipe works best with large shrimp.
- When you are ready to cook, remove the shrimp from the marinade. You can cook the shrimp on a salt block in the oven at 350 degrees (our favorite), on a grill, or simply cooked in a skillet on the stovetop. With whatever method you use, flip the shrimp half way through and baste them with the remaining sauce. Cook the shrimp to your desired doneness.
- Enjoy as a spicy appetizer or on top of some Caribbean rice and beans as a meal.
Notes
- This will make more sauce than you will need for a meal. We like to can the extra for use throughout the year. Typically a pint of sauce is good for about 20 shrimp.
