Steps:

• For the quick preserved lemon: In a small saucepan, combine lemon, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until lemon is soft, approximately 15 minutes. Cool, then chop. Set aside
• For the shrimp: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, add the oil followed by onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Gently cook, stirring, until vegetables are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ras el hanout and salt and roast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in chopped preserved lemon.
• Arrange shrimp over the tomato mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven until the shrimp are cooked through and are bright coral pink, about 2 minutes. Remove, top with chopped cilantro and serve.

• Thread 1 shrimp and 1 pineapple cube onto each skewer. Brush with 3 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.) Preheat broiler. Arrange skewers in single layer on 3 baking sheets. Working in batches, broil until shrimp are almost cooked through, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Brush shrimp and pineapple with some red pepper sauce. Broil 1 minute longer.
• Arrange skewers on platter. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with limes and remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Combine first 13 ingredients in a large bowl (through ground red pepper). Add shrimp; stir to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• While shrimp marinate, soak 6 (12-inch) wooden skewers in water 30 minutes before grilling. Thread 6-7 shrimp evenly onto each skewer.
• Preheat grill.
• Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done.
• Alternate cooking method: Pan fry for 3 minutes on each side in a small amount of olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add carrots and bell peppers; cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in garlic and 1 tablespoon harissa; mix well. Pour in fire-roasted tomatoes with liquid and stir to combine. Mix in tomato paste and remaining 1 tablespoon harissa until well combined.
• Pour in stock slowly, stirring constantly, to ensure that all ingredients are well mixed together. Add garbanzo beans. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. If stew appears too dry, add a few more tablespoons stock if needed.
• Add shrimp and salt. Mix well. Cover and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Steps:

• Make the chermoula: Finely grate the zest from both lemons and set aside for serving, then, into a medium bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and sugar and set aside until ready to use. (You can keep the chermoula in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.)
• Prepare the orzo and shrimp: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high until the butter is melted. Add the orzo and keep stirring until the orzo is lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
• Add in the chermoula and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo starts to soften, about 10 minutes. If it looks like the orzo is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan.
• Stir in the shrimp and cover the pot again until the shrimp and the orzo are both cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
• Serve immediately, topped with the grated lemon zest.
