Drizzle olive oil in a tagine or regular pot over medium-high heat.

Grate tomatoes, discarding the skin, and add them to the pot.

Add a bay leaf, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot.

Add crushed garlic, finely chopped cilantro, and parsley, along with harissa.

Mix all the ingredients together.

Cover the tagine and reduce heat to medium; cook until tomatoes start boiling and sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, add tomato paste and mix it in.

Cover and continue cooking the tomatoes for a total of around 30 minutes.

Check the sauce; if watery, uncover and let it cook for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

Once the sauce is thick, add the seafood mix and cook uncovered on medium-high heat until shrimp is pink and not translucent, about 5-8 minutes.

Serve immediately with crusty bread.
