Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ⅔ cups water
1 ⅓ cups Israeli couscous, uncooked
¾ pound raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ tablespoon Greek seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ English cucumber, chopped
¼ cup vinaigrette salad dressing

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is completely absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon into a large bowl to cool slightly.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more lemon juice and salt next time.

I didn't have any fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried herbs instead. The salad was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with fresh herbs.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I'm going to try this recipe with grilled chicken instead.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have some in the freezer, so this is a perfect way to use them up.
