Very tasty and easy. I used leftover pesto from another recipe I had just made. I used Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend, blend of couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans,and quinoa.
Will definitely make again!

I loved the taste of this, but there were some direction issues. In the pesto instructions the word “cup” stands alone. You know it is 1/3 cup from the ingredient list, but that should be clarified. I ended up needing to add 1/4 cup chicken broth to the pesto to get the right viscosity. I also added 1 cup of frozen peas to the couscous, for texture and sweetness. There is no mention of what to do with the rest of the pesto sauce, either! It says "spoon shrimp and sauce over…”. But, since the shrimp has its own sauce, do you serve the remaining pesto separately, or should the rest of the pesto have gone into the shrimp sauce? I added a teaspoon of butter to the shrimp sauce, and removed the shrimp just before they were done so I could reduce the sauce by half without them overcooking. Then I added the shrimp back in and finished cooking them through before serving.
