Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups isralei couscous
- 1/2 lb large (16-20 ct.) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
- 3 cups arugula
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts (toast in a small skillet over a medium heat until fragrant)
- 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup julienne radish
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tsp. honey
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt. It should taste as salty as the sea. Add couscous and cook until soft, but still has a slight bite in the middle, about 8 minutes.
- Toss shrimp with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until pink, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook! When the shrimp curl in to a 'C' and are bright pink, they are ready.
- While the couscous and shrimp cook, whisk the lemon juice, honey, dijon and salt together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil while whisking. Once the couscous is cooked, rinse under cold water until chilled.
