Bring some new flavors to the dinner table with this simple Jamaican jerk seasoning. It’s slightly spicy, sweet, and perfect for chicken, shrimp, beef or even vegetables!
It’s amazing how much flavor you can get from simple pantry spices. Some of my family’s favorite spice blends include homemade fajita seasoning, Greek seasoning blend, and this Jamaican jerk seasoning.
While we love a good traditional Jamaican jerk recipe, sometimes we don’t have time to dig out the food processor and deal with handling spicy scotch bonnet peppers.
This Jamaican jerk seasoning simplifies the process immensely: with a few simple pantry spices, we get those delicious jerk flavors: warm spice flavors from the allspice and thyme, a spicy kick from the cayenne and a subtle sweetness from the brown sugar…it all goes so so well together.
Just a few shakes onto your chicken, shrimp, beef or vegetables, and you get those delicious jerk flavors without the hassle of the food processor.
And by making our own jerk seasoning, we are avoiding any unhealthy additives like MSG or anti-caking agents that can sometimes be found in store-bough spice blends. This spice blend is gluten-free, clean eating, vegan and paleo compliant!
