Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Finely chop dill.

Cook Couscous
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in couscous, stock concentrate, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Make Salad
3
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, half the scallion greens, and half the Greek vinaigrette (all for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.

Make Sauce
4
  • In a second small bowl, combine yogurt, sour cream, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of garlic, and as much dill as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Shrimp
5
  • Rinse shrimp* under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  • Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, oregano, remaining garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Remove pan from heat; stir in lemon zest and juice from remaining lemon wedges.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Stir remaining scallion greens and a drizzle of olive oil into pot with couscous; season with salt and pepper.

  • Divide couscous between bowls; top with shrimp and salad. Drizzle with sauce and serve.
