Cook pasta for 8 to minutes or according to the instructions on the package. Take it out when it is still firm because it will cook more as you make the rasta pasta.
Transfer to a strainer and pour cold water over it so the pasta doesn't clump up.
Toss and coat the shrimps with the jerk seasoning, salt and pepper.
Add 2 tablespoon oil to a pot over medium heat and sear each side of the shrimps for 2-3 minutes till fully cooked, Remove and set aside.
You can add more little oil to the pot if you need it. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the peppers, thyme, green onion, ginger, jerk seasoning, salt and black pepper. Stir fry until the peppers slightly soften.
Add the heavy cream, cheese, broth and chilli flakes. Stir to combine. Simmer for few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked pasta and shrimp. Stir until well coated with the creamy sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion.
