Moroccan Shrimp

Submitted by LorrieK

"This shrimp is quick and easy to make, and the blend of spices is beyond delicious. The recipe is from Weight Watchers and calls for grilling, but I have also pan fried the shrimp in a small amount of olive oil with perfect results. (Prep time does not include the marinating time.)"
