Spice up your weeknight dinner routine with this Caribbean-inspired dish that pairs shrimp with orange marmalade and other bold flavors. Black beans are a staple of Cuban cuisine and make a perfect complement to succulent jumbo shrimp in this easy recipe. The heat of jalapeño peppers can vary from searingly hot to surprisingly mild. Take a little taste of the pepper after you mince it; if the pepper has a good bite, use half, as directed in the recipe. If it seems to lack punch, use the whole pepper. You can also use this dish as a filling for tacos or fajitas.
