Green Beans And Shrimp -Saudi Arabia

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I served this as a first course, before the main course, which was a Middle-Eastern style roast lamb. I halved the recipe, and prepared it in advance, except for the shrimp, until my guests were ready for their starter. I stayed pretty close to the given recipe, but used tomato paste and a little water instead of tomato sauce. I added the shrimp at the very last moment, when all the rest of the recipe was hot through, then I turned off the heat, and let the shrimp absorb the flavour through the steam in the pan. After a few minutes, I served it. My guests didn't at first recognize the flavour of the cinnamon in the recipe, and the French chef in the guest group said it was "interesting", then said it was "good', and said he liked it. I told him what the ingredients were, and he was surprised. I liked this recipe, his wife liked it...it was quite good! This recipe isn't spicy, yet is, in fact, 'interesting'. I served it with basmati rice flavoured with ras-al-hanout, cinnamon, and butter, and tomatoes sort of steamed with cumin and garlic.
