COUSCOUS AND SHRIMP WITH CUMIN DRESSING



Couscous and Shrimp With Cumin Dressing image

A bit of cumin gives this dish an aromatic flavor that is often found in North African cooking.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Shrimp Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Best Couscous
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Put shrimp in the pan in a single layer, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook just until opaque throughout, about 1 minute more. Remove and refrigerate until cool enough to handle. Cut shrimp in half lengthwise.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and cumin. Whisking, add remaining 6 tablespoons oil slowly. Add couscous, shrimp, tomatoes, lettuce, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and toss.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for shrimp that is firm and pink, and couscous that is fluffy and light.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snow peas.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This is when the dish will be at its best. If you let it sit for too long, the couscous will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy.
