Notes
This Recipe Can be Doubled
: . Simply increase the ingredients proportionately and split it into two skillets or use a large one.
Mango Salsa:
Serve with a nice tropical Mango salsa.
Short cut tip:
Try a premade Jerk Marinade.
Fresh Thyme:
I really elevates the dish, so do not skip this fresh herb.
Bread:
Crusty is best, like a nice Baguette.
Lime Juice
: Add a burst of freshness by serving with lime wedges or lemon juice or top with a tsp of fresh scallions or green onions works well too.
Peppers:
Red bell peppers can be used. For a hint of sweetness add some honey or brown sugar if it is too hot.
