One Pot Shrimp and Couscous

An easy dish to make, delicious and healthy!

2 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced - try a vidalia or sweet red
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 cup couscous
450g deveined peeled medium shrimp
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth - try a sodium reduced
4 cups baby spinach


  1. In large pan melt butter over medium high heat; cook onion, paprika, slat and pepper, stirring occasionally.  When onions are slightly softened, add garlic so it will not burn.  Stir about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add couscous; toast for 2 minutes.  Stir in shrimp, tomatoes and broth; bring to boil.  Cover and turn off heat; let stand on burner until no liquid remains and shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes.  Stir in spinach and let wilt.
