How to cook deliciously - Grilled Shrimp with Lemon Pepper Couscous

1 . Stage

Preheat the grill and make the rub: If using bamboo skewers , soak them in a bowl of water to prevent them from burning on the grill. Pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. In a small jar with a lid, toss together the seafood rub ingredients.

2 . Stage

Prepare the shrimp: Peel and devein shrimp if necessary. Then skewer shrimp on soaked bamboo skewers. Six shrimp per skewer is a good amount. Season shrimp liberally with seafood rub—you won’t use all of it.

3 . Stage

Oil the grill and grill the shrimp: Fold up a thick wad of paper towels. Using tongs, dip the paper towels in oil and rub the grill grates. Add the shrimp skewers to the freshly oiled grill grates. Cook for 2 minutes per side until they are just cooked through and have a few grill marks.

4 . Stage

Cook the couscous: In a small pot set over medium-high heat, bring water and butter to a simmer. When butter is melted, stir in couscous and remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let steam for five minutes to cook couscous. Then stir in lemon pepper and fresh lemon zest.

5 . Stage

Make the Swiss chard (optional Dad Add): Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add Swiss chard and cook, stirring occasionally until Swiss chard wilts down—this should only take a couple of minutes. Add lemon juice and salt, toss to coat, and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.

6 . Stage

Serve: Shrimp and couscous are best to serve right away. If you have leftovers, reheat shrimp in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. Do not microwave. Shrimp will keep in the fridge for a few days.
