I tried this delicious recipe with skinless, boneless chicken thighs. Wonderful!

Served it with your Moroccan Couscous and we couldn't get enough. So, so good!

I found the flavors to be good, but so salty that my wife wouldn't eat it. :/ Any chance you meant 1 tsp of Kosher salt instead of regular salt?

Flavors were great but I followed the recipe as is using coarse salt and it was way too salty for our taste. Next time I would cut the salt in half.

I made tonight and the shrimp turned out great. I increase the brown sugar, used minced garlic instead of powder and added a little water at the end to dilute some of the seasoning in to a “sauce”. Served over basmati with asparagus. Delicious!

Thanks for this recipe! It was quite quick, the spices were dark so it was hard to tell if the shrimp was cooked by sight so I ended up accidentally over-cooking them but the flavours were great! Instead of searching for my sugar, I topped the shrimp with a drizzle of honey after I plated them and it was a nice mix of flavours. Served with leftover rice and some spinach that was sauteed with ginger, garlic and lemon. I will make this again.

So easy! Very tasty. Love the combination of spices. I used another person's suggestion of drizzling honey on top. That put it over the top!  Thank You for the recipe

Surprisingly delicious!! Definitely a keeper recipe,
