This speedy shrimp dish gets you whole grains, protein, vegetables and fruit all ready to go in 5 minutes (Pro tip: prep the couscous while the shrimp broils.)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat couscous
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped (or golden raisins)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup 2-percent plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon prepared hummus
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or dill
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

Preheat the broiler to high. Combine the couscous, apricots and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups very hot water, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until all of the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir together the yogurt, hummus, mint and 1 to 2 tablespoons water in another bowl. Season with salt and set aside.

Toss the shrimp, tomatoes, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and paprika together. Spread out on a baking sheet and broil until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with the lemon juice.

Fluff the couscous with a fork. Divide the shrimp and couscous among 4 plates. Scrape any of the drippings from the baking sheet into the yogurt-hummus sauce. Serve the shrimp and couscous with the sauce.

    I really liked the flavor combinations in this dish (although i could see where some people would not. I used golden raisins, which provided just the right level of sweetness to offset the hot paprika on the shrimp. I also liked the combination of yogurt/hummus/mint in the sauce. I would definitely make this again. Very fast and easy!
