QUICK MOROCCAN SHRIMP SKILLET
When my niece was attending West Point, she was sent to Morocco for five months. I threw her a going-away party with Moroccan decorations, costumes and cuisine, including this saucy shrimp dish. Whenever I make it now, I think of her and I smile. -Barbara Lento, Houston, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cabbage, bean sprouts, and oyster sauce; saute until veggies start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and soy sauce, stir, and remove from heat. Set aside until filling is cool enough to handle.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- While oil is heating, place an egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening edges with water as you go; roll tightly to seal. Repeat to make a few more egg rolls, wiping the work surface between each roll.
- Place several egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until wrappers are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you make and cook remaining egg rolls.
- Combine duck sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce; stir until well combined. Serve sauce with egg rolls.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP BRIWATS (LIKE EGG ROLLS)
In Morocco, briwats can be stuffed with sweet or savory fillings. This is a savory filling that is somewhat modern in origin. This recipe is an adaptation of both my Moroccan mother-in-law's version (though she adds garlic) and a recipe found in the book "Cooking at the Kasbah" by Kitty Norse. Some people also add soy sauce to the mixture (a sure sign of the recipe's modernity; soy sauce, as you can imagine, is not "native" to Morocco!) :) These are yummy snacks and surprisingly light, despite being fried. Do try to find the lumpia wrappers--briwats should not be doughy, but instead light and crispy, and the lumpia wrappers do the job nicely.

MOROCCAN SHRIMP
This shrimp is quick and easy to make, and the blend of spices is beyond delicious. The recipe is from Weight Watchers and calls for grilling, but I have also pan fried the shrimp in a small amount of olive oil with perfect results. (Prep time does not include the marinating time.)

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan. When the butter begins to sizzle, add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the spices (cumin, ginger, paprika and cayenne pepper) to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds.
- Add the shrimp. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes over high heat, stirring to avoid burning the spices. As soon as all the shrimp have turned pink, they're done. Avoid cooking for much longer past this point, because shrimp very easily become overcooked.
- Transfer shrimp to warmed serving dishes. Pour the spicy butter mixture over each serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and some chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Prep the shrimp in advance: To save time, devein and clean the shrimp ahead of time. You can also marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for extra flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your briwats. Some good options include carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
- Be careful not to overfill the briwats: Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal. Aim for about 1-2 tablespoons of filling per briwat.
- Use a damp cloth to keep the briwats from sticking: As you're folding the briwats, keep a damp cloth nearby to wipe your hands and the work surface. This will help prevent the briwats from sticking.
- Fry the briwats in hot oil: When you're ready to fry the briwats, make sure the oil is hot enough. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
