Carefully pour tomato mixture in the bowl of a food processor and puree. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if needed - you want to end up with a broth. Check for seasoning.

Let rest for 10 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb all theliquid. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, add the remiaing 1/4 cup oil and the 2 cloves of minced garlic. Heat the oil, making sure not to burn the garlic. When the oil is hot, add the shrimp and stirring occasionally, cood the shrimp until they start to turn pink, about 5 minuts. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will become tough.
