Often called shrimp al pip-pil, this northern favorite can be either spicy in the sense of piquant, with plenty of cayenne pepper, or spicy in the sense of heavily seasoned with garlic, cumin, sweet paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper, plus plenty of fresh cilantro and parsley. This Spicy Moroccan Shrimp Tagine recipe is the latter, though you can add firepower as desired. The shrimp can also be prepared in individual terra-cotta dishes and served in an appetizer.
