- 2 tsp allspice
- 0.75 cup shrimp stock

- 2 pcs garlic
- 2 ml white vinegar
- 3 tbsp thyme

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with the minced Scotch Bonnet peppers, all-purpose seasoning, ground annatto, and ground allspice; toss to coat and let sit to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the shrimp stock, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the diced onion and garlic, stirring as they cook until softened and aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Add the seasoned shrimp and the thyme sprigs to the skillet, arranging the shrimp in a single, even layer.
- Cover the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn bright orange and are fully cooked.
- Stir in the white vinegar and continue cooking for 1 minute.
- Taste the cooking liquid and adjust seasoning with salt to your preference.
- Use a slotted spoon to lift the shrimp from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Serve the shrimp hot, spooning some of the cooking liquid over them.
