Cooking Steps
- Add half the garlic salt, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water to a small pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 5 min. When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini and onions. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until tender-crisp, 4-6 min.**
- Transfer veggies to a plate and wipe out pan.
- While pan heats, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl pan until melted, 30 sec. Add shrimp. Sprinkle Smoked-Paprika Garlic Blend overtop.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.**
- Add cream cheese, pesto, veggies and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Stir to mix.
- Cook, stirring often until sauce is simmering and thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Remove pan from heat. Add spinach. Stir until wilted, 30 sec. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
- Stir half the parsley into couscous.
- Divide couscous between bowls.
- Top with shrimp, veggies and any remaining sauce in the pan.
- Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
