Moroccan cuisine is influenced by the kingdom’s interactions and exchanges with other cultures and nations over the centuries. Moroccan cuisine is typically a mix of Berber, Arabic, Andalusian, and Mediterranean cuisines with slight European and sub-Saharan influences.

Today we got for you one of the most famous dishes of traditional Moroccan cuisine Pastilla. It is in the form of a sweet, savory meat pie or spicy seafood pie with leaves of dough. It is said to be of Andalusi origin and is historically documented to be consumed in Morocco, and more recently introduced to Algeria, and Tunisia.

Usually Pastilla is made with chicken or beef but today we got a variation for the most daring of you, Pastilla with shrimps.
