Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
- 1 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- big pinch saffron
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh tomato diced
- 2/3 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
for the shrimp-
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic smashed
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp any size
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in couscous and cook until it starts to brown lightly.
- Pour in chicken stock, saffron, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and cover with lid. Couscous should be cooked completely after 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff with fork. {All chicken stock should be absorbed.} Stir in peas, diced tomatoes and parsley. Set aside.
For the shrimp-
- Heat garlic in butter and olive oil in skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Pour shrimp into hot pan and stir for about 3 minutes or until all shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and pour in lemon juice and parsley.
- To serve, spoon couscous into a bowl and top with shrimp.
Notes
- Feel free to add in chicken and sausage to this recipe as well. In traditional Paella, these items are common. I didn't add them in because I didn't have them on hand.
