Prep: Wash and dry all produce. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Mince or grate the garlic. Slice the olives. Roughly chop the parsley.
Cook the Israeli couscous: Add the couscous to the boiling water. Cook until the couscous is tender, 7-8 min. (Drain the couscous when it’s done cooking.)
Cook the shrimp: Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp just turns pink, 1-2 min. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the marinara sauce: Reduce the heat to medium. Add a drizzle of oil to the same pan, then the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 5-6 min. Add the crushed tomatoes and olives. Simmer until slightly thickened, 5-7 min.
Add the sugar, shrimp and half the parsley into the sauce. Stir until heated through, 1-2 min. (Taste and add more sugar, 1/4 tsp at a time, if you’d like your sauce a bit sweeter!)
Finish and serve: Divide the Israeli couscous between plates. Top with a scoop of shrimp saganaki. Sprinkle with the feta and remaining parsley. Enjoy!
KID-FRIENDLY TIP: If your kids don’t like olives, set them aside and stir them into your own bowl after cooking!
