Sheet-Pan Shrimp With Tomatoes, Feta and Oregano image

Ready in 10 minutes, this Mark Bittman recipe from 2013 is a perfect weeknight recipe. It relies heavily on garlic, oregano and black pepper as a coating for the shrimp. Serve alongside a hearty salad or with a stack of flatbread for an easy meal. In his original piece, a roundup of shrimp recipes, he suggested wild shrimp from the Pacific or Gulf of Mexico, or fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas, if they're available to you. All, he wrote, are "preferable from a sustainability perspective."

ONE-PAN SHRIMP AND PEARL COUSCOUS WITH HARISSA



One-Pan Shrimp and Pearl Couscous With Harissa image

This easy dish relies on harissa for its flavorful broth. Different brands can vary wildly in flavor and heat, so incorporate the harissa slowly, especially if yours is very spicy, and add more at the end to taste. The final dish does have some sauciness to it: The starch from the couscous will thicken the sauce in the few minutes it takes to go from stovetop to table, but you may want to provide a spoon along with a fork. If you prefer a drier dish, you can reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons harissa paste, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 cup pearl couscous or orzo
3 to 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved crosswise
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, packed, coarsely chopped or left whole

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 1 tablespoon harissa. Set aside.
  • In a large, lidded skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add couscous, garlic, coriander and cumin. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until couscous is toasted.
  • Add wine and cook until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of harissa and 2 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until couscous is al dente. (There will still be plenty of liquid.)
  • Nestle the shrimp into the couscous, pushing them under the surface a bit. Add the tomatoes and increase the heat until simmering again. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, rearranging shrimp using tongs once, until they are pink and cooked through. Adjust seasoning, if needed, adding more harissa, salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve in shallow bowls.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, prepare all ingredients and seasonings. This will ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest shrimp, zucchini, and eggplant possible. Fresh produce will yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Quality Harissa Paste: Choose a high-quality harissa paste for the best flavor. If you can't find harissa paste, you can make your own using roasted red peppers, cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Roast the Vegetables Thoroughly: Roast the zucchini and eggplant until they are tender and slightly charred. This will enhance their flavor and texture.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more harissa paste, lemon juice, or salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

This sheet pan harissa shrimp with roasted zucchini and eggplant is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The harissa paste adds a flavorful kick to the shrimp, while the roasted vegetables are tender and flavorful. Serve this dish with rice, quinoa, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
