Israeli Couscous And Shrimp Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 LB Shrimp (Peeled and Deveined)
3 Cloves Garlic (Finely Chopped)
6 TBSP Olive Oil
2 Lemons (Juiced)
1 Lemon (Quartered)
1 TSP Sea Salt
1 Red Bell Pepper (Thinly Sliced)
1 Yellow Bell Pepper (Thinly Sliced)
1 Cup Israeli Couscous
1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock
1/4 Cup Fresh Parsley
1/4 Cup Fresh Basil (Torn)
1 TSP Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Recipe Instructions:

In a medium glass bowl, combine the shrimp, garlic, black pepper, 3 TBS olive oil, 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1/2 TSP of salt and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 TBSP of olive oil and add the bell peppers, cooking until crisp and charred, about 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle with 1/4 TSP salt and transfer to a dish.
To the same skillet, add the couscous and cook for 1-2 minutes until toasted.
Add the chicken stock and remaining salt, bring to a rolling boil.
Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the couscous is tender and almost all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
Uncover the skillet and top the couscous with the bell peppers and shrimp, increase heat to medium, cover and cook until shrimp have turned pink and are cooked though, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice, garnish with parsley, basil and crushed red pepper, serve warm with the lemon wedges and enjoy!
