In Morocco we have a similar but different recipe, it's called pil-pil shrimp tagine, I hope you'll try it :)

So juicy and flavorful. I also love the colors in this recipe it’s as if the eyes eat first with this one! So good, an unforgettable dish!

Just look how juicy and tender those prawns are! It is awesome and looks delicious, i want to devour the whole bowl, it is done great!

I tend to up the ingredients a little for our taste, but we can’t get enough of this pil pil! Fantastic! We also use the Spanish larger
Prawns (langoustines) as we live here in axarquia. I must say it
even beats most tapas bars too! Even our Spanish guest are 
impressed.

Grandson of 13 years loves this recipe which he had for the first time in Portugal earlier in the year. 2023.  He's developing his pallet towards the really flavoursome Portuguese menus. Great stuff.. Thank you for this great recipe. Will be cooking it with him next time he comes.

Just come back from Spain and had this dish on a daily basis. We are going to try your recipe tomorrow along with Patatas Bravas, Padron Peppers and Cream Cheese stuffed Pepper Dew peppers, not forgetting marinated anchovies. We will let you know if we enjoyed it as much as when we were in Spain

Love this shrimp dish! So easy to make and fingerlicking good!
