Spicy Shrimp Moroccan Style by John SpottiswoodThese prawns are absolutely fantastic. Every time I make them I marvel at the density and depth of the flavors. I typically leave the Cayenne pepper out of about half of them if I'm cooking for the whole family. I often serve these in combination with a Moroccan chicken, fish, or lamb dish, but they work fine on their own too. |

It's subtle not powerful, but if you've ever had a steamed fish in Hawaii (Ono, etc.) and loved it then this dish will make you smile. The black beans, garlic and ginger are pungent and tasty! It's also gorgeous. Perfect to serve to a health minded crowd who also loves great… |
