Moroccan Shrimp image

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.)
