Moroccan Grilled Shirmp Recipe

I purchase my spices at www.spice-appeal.com. Their spices are high quality and come in beautiful containers. The spice blends are my favorite – a teaspoon totally transforms a dish from ordinary exotic. For these skewers, I used Ras El-Hanout, a Moroccan blend of nutmeg, cinnamon, rosebuds, pepper, ginger, allspice, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, chilies, lavender and other spices.
