ONE-POT CHERMOULA SHRIMP AND ORZO

One-Pot Chermoula Shrimp and Orzo image

Traditionally used to season seafood and vegetables, chermoula is a Moroccan marinade made of herbs and spices like cilantro, parsley, paprika and cumin. In this one-pot recipe, the orzo cooks in a combination of chermoula and stock, so the orzo is seasoned all the way through. In the last few minutes of cooking, just stir the shrimp into the orzo to cook, and you have a quick and easy, yet exciting, dinner. Feel free to use a protein of your choice instead of shrimp, but adjust cook times accordingly. Also, consider making a big batch of chermoula and keep it in the fridge to use as a marinade, a dressing on salads or a condiment for sandwiches.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 lemons
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup orzo
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3/4 pound peeled and deveined medium to large shrimp, tails removed

Steps:

Make the chermoula: Finely grate the zest from both lemons and set aside for serving, then, into a medium bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and sugar and set aside until ready to use. (You can keep the chermoula in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.)
Prepare the orzo and shrimp: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high until the butter is melted. Add the orzo and keep stirring until the orzo is lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
Add in the chermoula and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo starts to soften, about 10 minutes. If it looks like the orzo is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan.
Stir in the shrimp and cover the pot again until the shrimp and the orzo are both cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
Serve immediately, topped with the grated lemon zest.

Tips:

Use the best quality seafood you can find. Fresh shrimp will give the best flavor to your tagine.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much shrimp, they will not cook evenly and will become tough.
Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of spices to give your tagine a complex flavor. Try using cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. You can use any type of vegetables that you like, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, or zucchini.
Serve the tagine over couscous or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

One-pot Moroccan shrimp tagine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
