Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh shrimp and vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choosing the Right Shrimp: Opt for wild-caught shrimp whenever possible, as they have a better taste and texture than farm-raised shrimp.
  • Properly Cooking Shrimp: Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Marinating the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will enhance their taste.
  • Choosing the Right Couscous: Use whole wheat or Israeli couscous for a more flavorful and textured dish.
  • Fluffing the Couscous: Make sure to fluff the couscous with a fork after it has been cooked to prevent it from becoming clumpy.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped bell peppers, cucumbers, or tomatoes.
  • Using Fresh Herbs: Use fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or mint, to add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
