Caribbean cooking is a natural fit for shellfish-free eating—think jerk chicken, slow-cooked oxtail, curried goat, and rice and peas built on bold spices and rich, satisfying flavors.

Fig has done that work for you, pulling together shellfish-free Caribbean recipes that bring the heat, the color, and the depth the cuisine is known for.
