Authentic North Macedonian Roasted Shrimp Curry

Assemble the ingredients: shrimp, chili, water, black pepper, cinnamon, garlic, salt.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the shrimp and cook until roasted.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of North Macedonian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional North Macedonian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
