Grilled Shrimp With Tomato Jam Moroccan

Easy and delicious! Spicy tomato jam is a popular moroccan condiment that is wonderful with grilled shrimp. i like my jam with some texture, so i skip the puree part. Serve with couscous. Lemon-herb couscous or apricot couscous are great choices. This dish pairs perfectly with a full, aromatic white, such as a viognier or gewurztraminer. also goes well with, lageder pinot bianco, 2002 - a northern italian white wine. Jam simmers for an hour and the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes, so plan accordingly.
