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!
