Moroccan Shrimp Salad
We’re pleased to present another recipe by Syrie Wongkaew, who’s About.com’s guide to Australian & New Zealand Food, as well as a freelance graphic designer and food photographer/stylist.
We found Syrie through her great blog, Taste Buddies.
Her recipe for Moroccan Shrimp Salad includes two Middle Eastern ingredients that may need some explanation: harissa and sumac.
If harissa is unavailable, substitute any hot sauce with similar ingredients, or make your own harissa paste by grinding the dry ingredients and then blending that powder with just enough olive oil to make a paste.
Sumac is a deep red, coarsely ground powder made from the petals and berries of a shrub that originated in Turkey. Sumac powder is central to cooking in much of the Middle East; it served as the tart, acidic element in cooking prior to the introduction of lemons by the Romans. Accordingly, you can substitute lemon juice for sumac.
