Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons dry jerk seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 6 to 7 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 jalepeno, seeded, and finely chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large stalk broccoli, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/4-inch strips
- 1 cup diced pineapple (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
- 1 small sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large carrot, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/4-inch strips
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Serving suggestion: cooked white rice
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, jerk seasoning, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the oil, soy sauce, and jalapeno. Add shrimp and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the broccoli and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until starting to brown but still a little crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, if needed, and add the red pepper and pineapple. Cook, shaking the pan, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and pineapple to the broccoli.
Return the pan to the heat and add another tablespoon of oil. Add sweet potato and carrot and cook, shaking the pan, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to vegetable mixture.
Heat another tablespoon of oil in the pan. Strain the shrimp and discard the marinade. Put the shrimp in the skillet and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Return the vegetable mixture to the pan with the shrimp and cook, stirring to combine, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve immediately over rice.

This recipe was delicious. I was surprized how fast the sweet potatoe cooked and I loved all the flavors mixed together. It is a healthy choice, easy, and filling. I highly recommend this for a during the week dinner meal. Enjoy.

Just had to tell Janette and Christina how much I enjoyed their Jerk Shrimp Stri-Fry. I followed their recipe to a "T" and the only thing I added, at the end, was some soy sauce added to the rice. The vegetables were nice and crisp(I was some what worried that the sweet potato and carrot would not be cooked enough, but to my grateful surprise they came out just fine, it had just enough heat or spice, and the shrimps cooked perfectly. I will definitely keep this recipe. So, again, thank you both for a wonderful dinner!!

The only thing I'll do differently next time is cook the sweet potato a little longer, and keep some marinade to pour over the shrimp and vegetables when they are combined in the skillet. Delicious, healthy, and easy!
