Shakshuka
#COOKING: SHRIMP SHAKSHUA RECIPE
Shrimp Shakshuka. “Shakshuka” is a Tunisian term for “mixture” and it is one of our favourite brunch items! Fancy, ethnic name aside this dish is incredibly delicious, comforting and real easy to make. Soft-poached eggs in crushed tomatoes, peppers and onions. Topped with some Goat Cheese. And some bread to sop it all up! While this Israeli favourite doesn’t contain shrimp normally, we’re doing it!
