Moroccan cuisine is rich in history and cultural influence. The origin of Moroccan cuisine can be traced back to 7th century BC and its greatly influenced by Mediterranean, Berber, French and Spanish flavors. Traditional methods of cooking are usually "wet" like stews or Tagine. However, many dishes also include grilled meats and seafood. No matter the method, what really makes this cuisine are the spices like saffron, turmeric, sumac, ginger, paprika, cumin, and garlic. (All of which are featured in this original recipe for a delicious and juicy Moroccan style shrimp bowl.) While rice is rarely eaten, perhaps as little as once a year, this recipe can use rice –Spanish style– if you don't have any couscous on hand!
