Moroccan Seafood and Broccoli Salad image

Modified version of a Jane Brody recipe. You can substitute sliced surimi sticks for the shrimp or scallops but, if you do so, do not add until salad has been dressed and tossed or the surimi will shred. Cooking (passive) time also includes chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups broccoli florets
6 slender scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1 medium red bell peppers or 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup currants (optional) or 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
3/4 lb small shrimp or 3/4 lb bay scallop, cooked
3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups chicken bouillon
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
