ONE-PAN SHRIMP AND PEARL COUSCOUS WITH HARISSA
This easy dish relies on harissa for its flavorful broth. Different brands can vary wildly in flavor and heat, so incorporate the harissa slowly, especially if yours is very spicy, and add more at the end to taste. The final dish does have some sauciness to it: The starch from the couscous will thicken the sauce in the few minutes it takes to go from stovetop to table, but you may want to provide a spoon along with a fork. If you prefer a drier dish, you can reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 1 tablespoon harissa. Set aside.
- In a large, lidded skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add couscous, garlic, coriander and cumin. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until couscous is toasted.
- Add wine and cook until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of harissa and 2 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until couscous is al dente. (There will still be plenty of liquid.)
- Nestle the shrimp into the couscous, pushing them under the surface a bit. Add the tomatoes and increase the heat until simmering again. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, rearranging shrimp using tongs once, until they are pink and cooked through. Adjust seasoning, if needed, adding more harissa, salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve in shallow bowls.
ONE-POT ISRAELI COUSCOUS SHRIMP-AND-VEGGIE BOWLS
Cooking for a family can be time-consuming, but doing the dishes afterwards is what gets to me. Making one-pot meals has become one of my goals, and this is a favorite recipe from that challenge. This entire meal comes together in 30 minutes and tastes like a traditional couscous salad meets risotto-without all the work. Israeli couscous, a variety with bigger, more pearl-like grains than standard couscous-turns tender and creamy when slow-simmered in broth, and the shrimp and zucchini come out perfectly cooked. Everything is brought together with a bright and tangy vinaigrette, fresh herbs and Parmesan. Whether for dinner or lunch, my hope is that this recipe makes your day a little easier and a little more delicious.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a 10- to 12-cup Dutch oven or large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the onion, zucchini, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the onion and zucchini soften and the zucchini is just beginning to turn golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic and couscous. Cook, stirring, until the couscous is toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine evaporates, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil.
- While the broth comes to a boil, sprinkle the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and toss. Lay the seasoned shrimp over the top of the couscous, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the couscous absorbs most of the liquid and is tender and the shrimp is cooked through and bright pink, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Simmer until any remaining liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk together the lemon zest and juice, orange juice, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir the vinaigrette into the couscous until combined. Stir in the tomatoes and herbs. Divide among 4 serving bowls and garnish with Parmesan.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be tough and rubbery. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality harissa paste. Harissa paste is a North African chili paste that adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the dish. Look for a harissa paste that is made with fresh, flavorful ingredients.
- Adjust the amount of harissa paste to your taste. Harissa paste can be spicy, so start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the dish with your favorite sides. This dish is delicious served with rice, couscous, or a simple green salad.

This one-pan shrimp and pearl couscous with harissa is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the pearl couscous is light and fluffy. The harissa paste adds a smoky, spicy flavor to the dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
