"The first cooks to serve this dish almost certainly were Chinese immigrants to the Caribbean, who brought their skills for quick-frying from the old country. Now, however, the dish is "generic Caribbean." If you order Caribbean Shrimp in the United States, this is what you'll probably get. I only hope it tastes this good. From Caribbean Cooking by John DeMers."
