    Jerk Shrimp Fajitas,This is a recipe I made up for a quick weeknight meal. Over time, it evolved into something I’m proud enough to share with you all. Please do not use a non-stick pan. You could try substituting the shrimp for chicken or fish and the pineapple or mango salsa for your favorite variety. Like most Caribbean recipes I like the combination of hot, sweet, savory, and sour in one dish.
