Jamaican Stewed Shrimp in Edmonton

Stewed Shrimp Plate in Edmonton

Stewed shrimp takes the brown stew technique behind our chicken and applies it to seafood — shrimp finished in a savoury gravy of onion, sweet peppers and thyme, plated with rice and peas. It is rich without being heavy, and it is the plate to order when you want comfort food that is still light on its feet.

About Our Stewed Shrimp Plate

Where curry leads with turmeric and allspice, stew leads with browned aromatics. The gravy is built from onion and sweet peppers cooked down with thyme until it turns savoury and glossy, and the shrimp are brought in at the end so they hold their bite. The result is closer to a Sunday-dinner gravy than a curry sauce.

It is the milder of our two shrimp plates and a good choice if strong spice is not what you are after. For the turmeric-and-allspice version, look at our curry shrimp plate; for the same technique with chicken, see the stew chicken plate.

Stewed Shrimp or Curry Shrimp?

Same shrimp, two different sauces. Stewed shrimp is savoury, onion-and-pepper forward and mild. Curry shrimp is warmer and more aromatic, built on Caribbean curry powder. If you are ordering for a table that does not agree on spice, stewed shrimp is the safer plate.

What you get
