Description

Shakshuka, traditionally a breakfast staple, is reimagined here as a versatile dish perfect for any meal. This vibrant and flavorful creation features a rich tomato base, simmered to perfection with aromatic spices and peppers, offering a delightful warmth and depth of flavor. The sauce is a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy notes, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on the palate.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. While it stands alone as a satisfying vegetarian option, it can easily be customized to suit your preferences. For a heartier meal, consider nestling a few eggs directly into the simmering sauce.

As they poach, the eggs add a creamy richness that complements the tangy tomatoes and spices, creating a truly indulgent experience. To elevate the dish further, a swirl of heavy cream can be added just before serving. This addition introduces a velvety texture and a subtle sweetness that balances the acidity of the tomatoes.

A generous sprinkle of feta cheese provides a salty, briny counterpoint, adding another layer of complexity to the flavor profile. The combination of creamy sauce, salty cheese, and flavorful tomato base creates a truly irresistible dish. Each spoonful of this shakshuka is a journey of textures and tastes.

The soft, yielding vegetables, the creamy sauce, and the salty feta combine to create a sensory experience that is both comforting and exciting. Whether you enjoy it as a light lunch, a satisfying dinner, or a weekend brunch, this shakshuka is sure to become a new favorite. Serve it with warm bread for dipping and soaking up all the delicious sauce, or enjoy it on its own for a lighter meal.

The possibilities are endless, and the flavors are unforgettable.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat on the stovetop. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in crushed tomatoes.
    2.
    Bring the skillet to a gentle simmer. Stir in paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, cumin, and coriander seed. Incorporate the heavy cream and reduce the heat to very low, allowing the sauce to gently simmer.
    3.
    While the sauce simmers, peel and devein the shrimp. Toss the shrimp with remaining salt and pepper. Set aside.
    4.
    Stir 2 ounces of feta cheese into the hot tomato sauce, stirring until the feta has melted. Leave the feta slightly chunky, if preferred. Arrange the seasoned shrimp evenly on top of the sauce.
    5.
    Remove the skillet from the stovetop. Crumble the remaining 1 ounce of feta cheese over the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 12 minutes, until the shrimp is cooked through, the cheese is hot, and the tomato sauce is bubbly with browned edges.
    6.
    Garnish the shrimp shakshuka with fresh parsley, cilantro, or another herb of your choice.
