Grilled Shrimp with Tomato Jam Moroccan

easy and delicious! spicy tomato jam is a popular moroccan condiment that is wonderful with grilled shrimp. i like my jam with some texture, so i skip the puree part. serve with couscous. lemon-herb couscous or apricot couscous are great choices. this dish pairs perfectly with a full, aromatic white, such as a viognier or gewurztraminer. also goes well with, lageder pinot bianco, 2002 - a northern italian white wine. jam simmers for an hour and the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes, so plan accordingly.

Moroccan Shrimp Over Couscous

the sweetness of the golden raisins is a nice compliment to the smokey cumin in this dish. this recipe was adapted from one i found in real simple magazine. it might be nice to add a little "heat" to this dish too. some cayenne pepper or a small chili might compliment the fragrance of the cinnamon and sweet raisins. i would have liked to garnish this with cilantro, but used scallions instead!
