COCONUT JERK CURRY WITH CHICKEN
Here is an all time favorite and tasty spin on cooking with Jerk seasoning. If you like coconut curries you are in for a real treat. You can add heat to taste with some Red Savina or habanero chile. This dish is also good with thin sliced pork or shrimp.
Note: For shrimp, 1–2 minutes each side. For extra flavor sauté meats with pure virgin coconut oil.
