One of our favorite things to eat is steamed shrimp. Here, we’re going to show you how to do it Caribbean style. We like it because it’s so fresh and delicious. The addition of herbs has it bursting with flavor! As an alternative to cocktail sauce, we used our spicy mango chutney. The chutney adds a nice sweet heat to the shrimp once you dunk it in. Give it a try for yourself to experience what we’re talking about!
