Shrimp in a tagine, that's comfort Moroccan style. The shellfish gently cook in a thick sauce of peeled tomatoes, pressed garlic, and fresh cilantro. Our Spicy Shrimp mix provides the piquant, warm tone, while the tagine mix makes the sauce rich and full-bodied. In half an hour, a dish is on the table that tastes of the sea and sun-ripened tomatoes. Ideal for sharing, with fresh bread to soak up the last of the sauce.

Chef's tip

Cut a cross in the bottom of each tomato and immerse them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Then shock them in cold water and the skin will peel off easily. This keeps the sauce smooth, without tough skins.

Serving suggestion

Serve with fresh bread or white rice to soak up the spicy tomato sauce.
