Cooking Steps
- Add half the garlic salt, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water to a small pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 5 min. When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini and onions. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until tender-crisp, 4-6 min.**
- Transfer veggies to a plate and wipe out pan.
- While pan heats, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan until melted, 30 sec. Add shrimp. Sprinkle Smoked-Paprika Garlic Blend overtop.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.**
- Add cream cheese, pesto, veggies and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Stir to mix.
- Cook, stirring often until sauce is simmering and thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Remove pan from heat. Add spinach. Stir until wilted, 30 sec. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Stir half the parsley into couscous.
- Divide couscous between bowls.
- Top with shrimp, veggies and any remaining sauce in the pan.
- Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
If you've opted for double, shrimp, prep and cook it in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the regular portion of shrimp. Work in batches, if necessary.
