One-Pot Creamy Jerk Shrimp Spaghetti– An irresistible super simple, One-Pot dish filled with mushrooms and shrimp in a spicy jerk creamy sauce . So Delicious! Ready in 30minutes
If at times you get caught in a rut and want a change from the same old stuff. Here is one dish that that is GURANTEED to please, with minimal prep work and is on the table in 30 minutes. Sounds pretty appetizing right?
This is one of those recipes that I make to switch things up and satisfy the cravings of my son. You see I have a big jar of this homemade Jamaican spice that is just a favorite of my son, he just loves to spice things up with it. And is persistently asking me to add it to everything, when an opportunity presents itself. He calls it his “special spice” (he helped developed the spice blend, and he’s not shy about it) some of them really don’t do it for me. But this hits the spot.
This jerk spaghetti is a spin off on my creamy spaghetti dish, which is a favorite in my household. The speed, ease of preparation is what I love about this sumptuous spaghetti meal and the Taste! Yes, really delivers! Tons of flavor that you can taste in every bite, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Make sure you get the spaghetti going so as soon as the sauce is ready you are good to go. The jerk seasoning is used here to flavor the shrimp before sautéing and to spice up the overall dish.
If you haven’t tried my Fabulous jerk mix here, then you should it is a great seasoning to have on hand. And you customize to suit your needs. If you are not into fiery hot you adjust to make it work for you. I do it all the time, and sometimes, I just leave out the hot pepper completely and add to the dish instead.
The cheese is optional, you really don’t need it. Be sure to adjust jerk spice to suit your needs.
Enjoy!!!

Living in the south, I see lots of shrimp and jerk everywhere. Love this combination as it sounds so delicious!
It sure is Jessica!
This looks yummy. Combination of my fav things. Shrimp and jerk seasoning. Reminds me of my rasta pasta.
You’ve got that right Renzh, jerk seasoning and shrimp make a devious pair!
ahhh… the recipe is just making me gaze over and over the picture again
beautiful, I have to try this
Let me know how it works out for you! Thanks.
OMG it is lunch time here and I badly, really badly want to eat this!!! It so inviting and hearty, I have never tried jerk seasoning, but I can see some chilli in there. I would put chilli in everything if I could. I absolutely love you recipe 🙂
Aww thanks Dalia! I sprinkle some chili peppers on them to make it extra spicy.
i love spicy food and this recipe is definitly up my alley, I cant wait to make it! x
Me too Adriana.
This looks so insanely good! I have a big jar of Jerk spice in my cabinet and I keep forgetting to use it. Now I have the perfect recipe for it 🙂
Mine is always on the countertop , my son loves playing around with it.
I love the creamy + spicy combination. Ready in 30 minutes or less is my type of dinner.
Totally agree with you. This is perfect for those busy days.
This looks mouthwatering…I just had lunch and I’m hungry again after seeing these pictures! Lol :p
This would be perfect for dinner.
I can’t stop staring at this shrimp with all that special spice clinging to it. It looks absolutely heavenly. I try to avoid pasta (a girls got to watch her waistline). . .but I bet this would taste spectacular on top of zucchini noodles or even on it’s own without the noodles. ..or how about on top of a cauliflower mash. So many possibilities for these little beauties and that tasty sauce.
I know what you mean.. Those are some great ideas you have going on Lynn. Definitely going to put on to make list.
What a great looking dish! And what a wonderful blog in general. I’m glad I found you!
Thanks Derek! I am so glad you are here.
Always looking for new jerk recipes! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts Nicole.
this looks SOOO good! can’t wait to try it out!
Thanks Hannah! Do let me know how it works for you.
I’m so glad I stumbled across your blog! I saw this recipe last week and I just had to try it. I would’ve never thought to put these ingredients together. Everything paired nicely and the flavors were balanced. It made for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The only changes I made were to use whole wheat pasta and I tossed in some fresh spinach. I even made a batch of your jerk seasoning. The store bought kind didn’t even come close to your version. I ended up throwing out the premade jerk seasoning in my cabinet. I’m looking forward to trying more recipes.
Totally Agree Girl!!! I am sure you toss it far away and said your good byes, never to return, that’s what I did! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us Nichole.
Do you think it would be good with cocnut milk instead of cream and milk?
Hi Mira! I have not tried that variation , but think it would do just fine.
This looks crazy delicious! I love Jamaican seasonings, but am a huge fan of chicken. Shrimp seems like a perfect solution! Thanks for sharing!
It sure is Sarah! Always comes in handy.
Hi Imma, thanks for this recipe! I have very recently become obsessed with your website, lol. So far made the rice and peas and the brown stewed chicken, so good! I want to make this one but don’t like mushrooms, any recommendations for a vegetable I could substitute? Thanks so much!
Aww thanks Heather, glad the recipes are working well for you. Eggplant would be a good replacement here.
Fantastic!!! No other words needed!
AWESOME!!!!
This will be my 4th time making this dish! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! I don’t change a thing but I do use chicken instead due to a picky child. Thank you for sharing the goodness!!!!
Great idea! Will have to make one with chicken. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
I was wondering do i have to use mushrooms because i dont like mushrooms?
No, you don’t . Just omit it!!!
This is my second dish that I have made from your recipe collection and I am speechless. Who would have known these flavors would have come together in such a too die for yummy way. It was very easy to make and I also followed your homemade jerk spice recipe. i made the jerk spice 4 days before to let the spices blend together. I couldn’t stop licking the plate after I ate this spaghetti. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Hahaha! They really do blend well together and pack a punch. So happy to hear it worked out well for you. Thanks for letting me know!!!!
