Here's what you need

Ingredients  – large eggs – peeled shrimp – canned whole peeled tomatoes – red bell pepper – orange bell pepper – white onion , sweet onion can be used – garlic cloves – aleppo pepper you can sub with sweet paprika and cayenne mixed together – everything spicy seasoning, you can sub with cajun seasoning or cayenne – cumin ground

Step 1

Start with adding the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Turn the heat down to low and let the veggies cook for about 8-10 minutes until the onions are nice and sweaty. Then add all the spices. Let the spices cook with veggies for about 2-3 min.

Step 2

Add the peeled whole tomatoes and gently crush them with a big wooden spatula. Let it simmer for 5-7 min.

Step 3

Gently place the shrimp into the tomato sauce, spacing them out. Let them boil in the tomato sauce for about seven minutes. When they start to turn opaque in color, they are done. 

Step 4

Carefully crack one egg into a separate bowl then add it into the pan one by one, keeping them intact.  Let the dish simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Don’t disturb the eggs. The dish will be done when the egg whites are cooked all the way through and the yolk is shiny yet firm. You can always undercook the egg a little if you prefer runny yolks. Sprinkle with fresh Italian parsley and fresh cracked black pepper.

What to serve with Shakshuka: Serve this with warm pita bread or Naan. To keep it gluten free, use Almond Flour tortillas instead of pita.  For a more comfort food feel, roasted potatoes are amazing with this dish along with adding a side of bacon or creamy grits.
