I love Seafood and Jerk anything!! The spices used in this Jerk Spiced Shrimp recipe are simply delectable. Nutmeg, cinnamon, thyme and the allspice are all Caribbean spices and herbs in the case of the thyme that adds wonderful flavours to any dish. They are very healthy too! Both nutmeg and cinnamon are known as popular spices around the world, and also popular for their many health benefits. In fact, since ancient times, both nutmeg and cinnamon have been used as a remedy for various ailments or to improve health in general. See below for full recipe from Aspire-Canada:Ingredients:
