cous cous

Couscous was one of those ingredients that I somewhat avoided because I didn't really know what to do with it. We had it when we visited friends in Europe and it tasted so amazing that we decided we had to give it a go on our own. As it turns out, cous cous is super simple to prepare and was a welcome change to rice or pasta. I prefer couscous over quinoa given it's a smaller grain and I find it to have a less gritty texture, but you could definitely use it in this dish if you prefer. 

{ Diced pinapple, green pepper, jalepeno, parsley }

{ Shrimp cooked in butter, lemon juice and garlic }

{ Combine the diced fruit/veg, prepared cous cous and cooked shrimp in a large bowl. 

Pour in the melted butter that the shrimp cooked in. 

We also made a dressing by combining roasted garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper }
