    I just made this last night. I didn't have tumeric so I used a little curry and i used Kalamata olives. It was extremely good and very easy. Also a very nice looking dish with all the colors.

    I really loved this recipe. I substituted bulgur for couscous, cut the amount of shrimp in half, and added canned asparagus. DELICIOUS!
