Moroccan Shrimp with Couscous
Draining the yogurt thickens it and concentrates its flavor. But if you don't have time, skip that step.
How to Make It
Step 1
Spoon yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels, and let stand 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl using a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 2
While yogurt stands, combine the paprika, salt, cumin, curry, red pepper, and cinnamon. Bring 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika mixture, dried fruit, water, and broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in the couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 3
While couscous stands, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle shrimp with remaining paprika mixture. Add shrimp to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until done. Spoon 1/2 cup couscous in center of each plate. Top each with 1/2 cup shrimp and 1 tablespoon yogurt. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.

This was pretty good, although my husband liked it better than I did. I used raisins and cranberries for the fruit, otherwise made it as written. My only complaint was that it seemed too heavy on the cumin, but my coworkers LOVED the leftovers.

Excellent recipe. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out but the flavors were mild yet very tasty. My husband and I loved this dish. I put dried cranberries, pieces of dried apricot, and raisins in the couscous and it was great. I used Greek yogurt and didn't do the draining it called for and worked out fine. I would make this again for company; it's very fast and easy and great tasting!

LOVE how easy and fast this was to prepare. I skipped the draining the yogurt in favor of using Greek yogurt and used dried apricots and dried cherries. Yum!

This is incredibly quick and easy to make. The results are a delightful cross between exotic and comfort food, and I find myself making it over and over. It has become our go-to recipe whenever good shrimp are available.

Wonderful! So quick and easy yet absolutely delicious. At the last minute I discovered I didn't have couscous so had to substitute rice, but it still tasted great. Definitely a keeper.

Delicious, easy and healthy. Followed the recipe exactly except for using 1/4 cup zante currants in the couscous instead of 1/2 cup of dried fruit or raisins, and it was perfect.
