Dinner Published March 20, 2026

Jamaican Jerk Night

A full Jamaican spread: fiery jerk chicken, fragrant coconut rice, pillowy pita, a house curry powder, a bright shrimp curry, and key lime pie to finish.

  • A bowl of golden coconut corn curry with pink shrimp, served over rice with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge

    Dinner

    Coconut Corn Shrimp Curry

    Sweet corn blended into coconut milk creates a silky, golden broth for shrimp marinated with lemongrass, turmeric, and garlic — a quick and vibrant weeknight curry.

  • A bowl of fluffy white coconut rice garnished with a pinch of fleur de sel

    Sides

    Coconut Rice

    Fragrant jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk with a touch of sugar and sea salt — a simple, creamy side that pairs beautifully with curries, grilled fish, or jerk chicken.

  • A stack of freshly baked pita breads, lightly speckled and slightly puffed, on a linen-lined basket

    Sides

    Homemade Pita Bread

    Tender, puffed homemade pitas that bake in 3 minutes on a blazing hot pan — made from a simple yeasted dough that can be prepped in advance.

  • A small bowl of bright yellow-orange homemade Jamaican curry powder blend beside whole spices

    Sides

    Jamaican Curry Powder

    A homemade Jamaican curry powder blend with bold allspice, fenugreek, and a fiery Carolina Reaper heat — grind it fresh for maximum fragrance.

  • Mahogany-glazed jerk chicken thighs on a platter with vibrant pickled banana slices and sliced scallions scattered over the top

    Dinner

    Jerk Chicken with Pickled Bananas

    Deeply marinated jerk chicken with habanero, allspice, and Guinness, served alongside quick-pickled bananas in a spiced hibiscus brine — a showstopping Caribbean feast.

  • A slice of pale green key lime pie with a graham cracker crust and a cloud of whipped cream on a plate with a thin lime round

    Dessert

    Key Lime Pie

    The perfect key lime pie — a buttery graham cracker crust, a silky-tart filling of lime zest and sweetened condensed milk, and a dreamy rum-spiked whipped cream.
