Feb 23, 2026 10:48 PM

  The flavors here remind me of Jamaica, luring me in with the sweet citrus and then kicking it up with the chile peppers.

  

Ingredients

serves 2

  Olive oil spray

  1 medium sweet potato, cut into julienne strips

  1/2 to 3/4 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

  1/2 cup fresh orange juice

  2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

  1 teaspoon paprika

  1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  1/2 teaspoon allspice

  4 to 6 garlic cloves, chopped

  1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  1/2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices

  2 bananas, sliced 1/2 inch thick

  1/2 orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced

  

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

  

Step 2

Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

  

Step 3

Scatter the sweet potato in the pot. Add the shrimp.

  

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, lime juice, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, allspice, garlic, and salt.

  

Step 5

Pour half of the mixture over the shrimp.

  

Step 6

Add the zucchini and the bananas. Top with the bell pepper slices.

Pour the rest of the orange juice mixture over all.

Cover and bake for about 40 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
