Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · small saucepan · tongs
Directions
- Prepare the couscous: in a small saucepan, boil the broth, remove from heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes until fluffy.
- If using frozen shrimp, thaw them briefly under cold running water and pat dry; fresh shrimp don’t need this step.
- Wash and dry all produce before chopping.
- Halve the grape tomatoes, cut the peppers into strips after removing seeds and membranes, and dice the zucchini into ½-inch cubes; transfer the cut veggies to a bowl.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then swirl in a bit of oil to coat the bottom.
- Mince the garlic. Add shrimp and garlic to the hot skillet and cook until the shrimp turn opaque, about 1–2 minutes per side; transfer shrimp to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add another drizzle of oil and cook the peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and a pinch of oregano, stirring occasionally until the vegetables soften, about 3–4 minutes.
- Shave the dill leaves from the stems, then mince the dill.
- Return the skillet to heat, pour in the broth, scrape up browned bits, and simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add the dill and the shrimp back to the skillet with any juices; cook together for another minute to marry the flavors.
- To serve, fluff the couscous and divide it between plates, then top with the shrimp and vegetables and crumble feta over each portion.
Two tips
- Prep the dill and garlic ahead of time to speed dinner setup.
- Leftovers refrigerate well for a quick lunch; reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth to refresh the dish.
