Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 medium plum tomatoes, diced
- 1 small bulb fennel, halved, cored and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
Directions
Prepare the couscous as the label directs. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.
Preheat the broiler. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add the tomatoes, fennel and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, then add the chickpeas and 1/3 cup water; cook, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the scallions and 1 tablespoon dill. Top with the feta, transfer to the broiler and broil until golden, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon dill. Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve with the shrimp mixture.

This recipe feels so healthy and fresh! I make it once a week. If I don't have fennel I will use an onion instead. I have also never made the recipe with dill, because I rarely ever have it. You MUST add olives(kalamata & large green! It makes the dish so flavorful and adds something special and brings the dish to another level. I crave this dish, it's that good!
I will also use a packaged quinoa and brown rice blend if I don't have couscous.

Great dish with slight modifications. Repalce fresh Roma tomatoes with seeded canned Italian tomatoes and the 1/3 cup of water with shrimp stock made from the left over shells. Let everything simmier for 8-10 min before returning the shrimp to the pan so flavors have a chance to blend and become aeromatic. Using tomato basil feta gives it a little more depth as well. Came out so good even my 8 & 11 year old kids asked for seconds.

Very bland. It was easy enough but lacked any real flavor. I won't make this again.
