Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, scallions, and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Season with salt, black pepper, and ground allspice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
Remove the thyme sprigs from the sauce. Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve the Shrimp Rundown hot with steamed rice, boiled green bananas, or fresh bread. Enjoy!
