This morning I had the pleasure of presenting the following shrimp dishes for CBC's Weekend Morning Show with host Terry MacLeod. The wild caught Argentinian shrimp is available at Gimli Fish and works perfectly for these two dishes. Turkish Baharat is available at Pollock's Hardware Co-op. Hot smoked paprika is available at Millad's on Notre Dame in Winnipeg.

Combine Turkish Baharat, grated shallots, lime juice, olive oil, paprika and salt and pepper in a bowl. Place shrimp in the bowl and cover completely with the marinade. Place in fridge and let marinate for 6 hours. Grill 2-4 minutes a side on a very hot BBQ grill.
To enjoy in a Pide ,grill Naan or Pide** on BBQ and spread on a bit of yoghurt tahini sauce (recipe follows).
