Chermoula Shrimp
This Chermoula Shrimp is a take on a classic Moroccan sauce that combines dried seasonings with fresh parsley. Some recipes include various fresh herbs but I like to stick with the parsley & dried seasonings for the convenience of making this meal quickly. I also like the addition of fresh onion for flavor. Tossing this dish together with baked zucchini is a personal preference but it makes a complete meal pronto!
