Directions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-hight. Sauté onions until golden, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic, chili flakes, and ginger and continue to cook until zucchini is tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in cumin, dates, and olives and warm through.
  2. Add warm vegetable mixture to prepared couscous, stir in cilantro, mint, lemon juice and zest. Stir to combine and season with salt to taste.
  3. Heat oil in medium frying pan over medium-high.Add garlic and chili flakes, stirring until garlic is fragrant and light golden. Do not let it brown.
  4. Add shrimp and sauté until all the shrimp have tust turned pink and are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season to taste. Top couscous with shrimp, drizzle with olive oil and an additional sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  5. I took a shortcut, using pre-cooked shrimp and throwing them in with the onions in the first recipe (with some extra garlic). I don’t see why this recipe should be two seperate steps.
