Pelican Grill - Try the jerk shrimp spring rolls

The Pelican Grill, one of Montego Bay's more established restaurants, is once again in the forefront for Restaurant Week.

Offering great food, complemented by a charming ambience, diners can expect to encounter a gastronomically satisfying experience at the legendary fine-dining eatery.

The Pelican's attractive menu for Restaurant Week includes the shrimp pasta primavera. This dish is a fusion of classical Italian, but is completed with a dashof special Jamaican spices. Head Chef Ryan Kameka, who has been with the Pelican for over three years, explains that the dish has a perfect balance of tastes and textures to tantalise diners' palates.

"The crisp vegetables along with the tender shrimp seasoned with our special blend of herbs and spices, and combined with penne pasta, make this dish simply delicious. What's more is that it is cooked to order ensuring that the vegetables are always crispy and the shrimp is succulent and enjoyable."

Also on the menu will be another Pelican favourite, its Surf and Turf - a grilled fillet steak paired with lobster thermidor.This too will leave all who dine at the Pelican satisfied. Chef Kameka also plans to introduce his newest creation - jerk shrimp spring rolls. This is a special fusion of Chinese and Jamaican cuisine where morsels of shrimp are jerked with the Pelican's own authentic sauce; seasonal vegetables are then added, and the concoction is rolled into a traditional Chinese spring roll wrap and lightly fried.

In total, five delectable offerings will be featured on the Pelican's special menu for Restaurant Week, so be sure to stop by and check it out.
