Caribbeans love spicy food. This dish combines rosemary, thyme, cayenne, black pepper and garlic. Quickly cooked in a hot skillet, these shrimp make a great appetizer. Serve with a splash of fresh lime juice.

1. Combine all ingredients except limes. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.

2. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, lay shrimp in pan. Cook shrimp 2-4 minutes per side, depending on size.

Brush shrimp with remaining marinade before turning. Serve with lime.
