Instructions

6 steps

1

Wash and dry produce.

Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half- moons. Halve tomatoes lengthwise.
2

In a small pot, combine couscous, stock concentrate, and 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3

While couscous cooks, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 4-6 minutes (6-9 minutes for 4 servings).

Add tomatoes; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Turn off heat; transfer veggies to a medium bowl and set aside. Wipe out pan.
4

Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with half the Tuscan Heat Spice (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
5

Stir almonds, 1 TBSP pesto (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a drizzle of olive oil into pot with couscous. Season with salt and pepper.
6

Divide shrimp, veggies, and couscous between plates. Top shrimp with as much remaining pesto as you like and serve.
