2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

For the Pasta:
12 oz penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon calypso heat jerk seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Shrimp:
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, BBQ seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Rasta Pasta Sauce:
In the same skillet used for the shrimp, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, calypso heat jerk seasoning, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 5 minutes.
Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and gently stir to combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
