How to Make Shrimp With Feta Over Couscous

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add chopped tomatoes, white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook until the liquid reduces slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in chicken stock and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Add shrimp to the sauce and simmer until pink and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. If the sauce is thinner than desired, whisk together cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and cook until thickened.
  6. Remove the shrimp from the heat and stir in capers, olives, and fresh herbs.
  7. Prepare couscous according to package directions.
  8. Divide couscous among four serving plates.
  9. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the couscous.
  10. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
