Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp jerk seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Toss shrimp with jerk seasoning until evenly coated.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
