Shrimps with Couscous



What’s for din din tonight? Mediterranean Shrimp with couscous and veggies. Cheap, healthy and easy to cook.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

I love shortcuts that taste as good as fresh

Ingredients:
1 lb cooked shrimp ($5 in Wal-Mart)
I box couscous
I 16 ounce stewed tomatoes without the juice
3 cloves chopped garlic (I just use minced garlic in a bottle)
1 medium onion diced
2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp butter
1 tsp black pepper


Sauté the shrimp in the olive oil and butter with the onions, garlic, and black pepper for 5 minutes.
Then pour the stewed tomatoes without the juice and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Follow the instruction on the box on how to cook the couscous
Serve with fresh tomatoes (ours come from our garden) and frozen French cut beans cooked in the microwave or any of your favorite veggies.
This serves 3-4 people. There, wasn’t that easy. With the time you saved you can spend more time cuddling with your spouse, or significant other, or your dog if you don’t have any of the two.
