Mediterranean couscous with shrimp
Couscous originated from Northern Africa but has since built up an established reputation in Europe. I haven't always been a fan of couscous but nowadays I like it very much and I like to see how you can vary with it. For this dish I use Israeli couscous, the larger grain and by adding the more typical Mediterranean ingredients such as olives and sun-dried tomatoes the couscous gets a completely different experience. Delicious with fried shrimp but possibly also vegetarian or with fried chicken pieces.
