Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion, coriander leaves, and parsley.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, parsley, and minced garlic.
- Add the ground cumin, paprika, and turmeric powder to the bowl.
- Pour in the olive oil and mix thoroughly until all the spices and herbs are well incorporated into the oil.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimps into the bowl with the marinade.
- Gently toss the shrimps until they are evenly coated with the chermoula mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld with the shrimps. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the marinated shrimps in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked shrimps to a serving platter.
- Garnish with additional chopped coriander and parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Ensure that your shrimp are fresh and deveined for the best texture and flavor.
- If possible, let the shrimp marinate in the chermoula mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to deeply infuse.
- You can grill, bake, or pan-fry the shrimp depending on your preference; just be mindful not to overcook them to maintain their juiciness.
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of paprika or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Use high-quality olive oil to enhance the richness of the marinade.
Chermoula shrimp is not only a feast for the palate but also a visually stunning dish that delights the senses.
