Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small nonreactive saucepan, prepare a marinade, using all the ingredients except the shrimp. Heat the marinade over a medium flame until it boils.

  2. Step 2

    Place the cleaned shrimp in a crock. Pour the boiling marinade over the shrimp. Cover the crock and store it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before serving. Serve chilled.

Tip
  • The author has substituted shrimp for the river crayfish that are traditionally used for janga but may not be readily available.
