Plump shrimp simmer in a Tunisian-spiced lentil and zucchini stew, finished with chimichurri and wilted spinach for depth and color. Microwaved grain blend with chewy dried apricots and toasted almonds is spooned over the top, followed by a drizzle of harissa aioli and a crumble of feta for a tangy, creamy finish.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and quarter zucchini; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick quarter-moons.

  • Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat very dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.

Cook Stew
2
  • In a large pot, combine zucchini, lentils and their liquid, crushed tomatoes, Tunisian Spice Blend, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium; uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and stew has thickened, 4-5 minutes.

  • Add shrimp to pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 2-3 minutes.

Warm Grains
3
  • While stew cooks, in a medium microwave-safe bowl (large microwave-safe bowl for 4 servings), toss together grain blend, apricots, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.

  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until grains are warmed through, 2–3 minutes (3–4 minutes for 4).

  • Carefully remove plastic wrap. Add almonds and stir to combine.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Once stew has thickened and zucchini is tender, reduce heat to low. Add chimichurri and spinach to pot; cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted. TIP: Depending on the size of your pot, you may need to add spinach in batches.

  • Divide lentil, zucchini, and shrimp stew between bowls. Top with apricot-almond grains. Drizzle with as much harissa aioli as you like. Garnish with feta and serve.
