Herbed Garlic-Shrimp Couscous
"In its current form this recipe is a delicate balance of lemon, garlic, parsley and basil with sweet shrimp. To amp it up to a more scampi-style dish simply add a couple more cloves of garlic, to your liking â?? at that point, just think of this dish as a quick, light, one-pot meal version of scampi...."
