Mixed Seafood Tagine

Submitted by Nasseh

"Our local Asian grocery store sells fresh mixed seafood already cut up & out of the shell. This is a great tagine to incorporate the mixture."

Excellent recipe. I made it with jumbo shrimp and calamari. It's good with rice or a hearty, rustic bread for dipping. The sauce is fabulous.

I had a bag of mixed seafood that needed using, but probably would not buy mixed seafood again because of the consistency and taste, which I later read online is a common problem. That is not the fault of this tagine recipe, which was easy to prep and make and which I enjoyed making in my tagine pot. We served over basmati rice.

My husband and daughter and I really liked this recipe. I did not use the oil and by mistake added a full tsp of paprika and turmeric and about 3/4 tsp of cumin. I used 2 cooked shrimp rings as that was all I had in the freezer. I also added some black beans that needed to be used up. This was quite easy to make and had lots of flavour. While I know this is meant to be a seafood tagine, I think you could replace the seafood with beans if you wanted. Thanks for a great tasting recipe.
