Place a heavy dutch oven on stove and pre-heat at medium for
5 - 10 minutes. Add the oil and coat pan, add the garlic,
peppers, carot, onion and celery/chayote and stir to mix.
Fry until the vegetables are cooked and starting to brown.
Add shrimp and stir fry for 5 minutes. Add vinegar and cook
for another 5 minutes.

In jamaica they somtimes serve a fresh water crawfish. These
are cooked with the heads on and served as finger food. I
try and find the extra large black tiger prawns at the local
fish store.

****Hint you can cook the same dish in 5 pints of water
instead of the oil. Boil everything except the shrimp for 10
minutes. Add shrimp and cook anther 10 minutes.

CAUTION: These peppers are incredibly hot. Handle them as
little as possible and wash your hands thouroughly
afterwards. Try the recipe with one first. If you like it
hotter use two. If you like it really hot, dice the peppers
but watch out!

Suggested Wine: Rum punch
