    Pita-Seafood Salad Sandwiches

    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 lb scallops or shrimp
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 medium onion
    1 garlic cloves (or more or less to taste)
    1 1/2 cups vegetable (such as eggplant or zucchini)
    3/4 cup mushrooms
    to taste salt, pepper and spices
    1 1/2 cups cooked couscous
    pita bread

    Recipe



    (1) Cut up the vegetables into small (1/2 inch) cubes.
    Slice the mushrooms.

    (2) If using shrimp, peel and devein the shrimp and
    cut into small cubes.

    (3) In a small amount of olive oil, sauté the onion
    and the optional garlic until the onion is soft
    but not quite transparent.

    (4) Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet and add
    the vegetable and mushrooms. Saute until the
    vegetables are almost soft. Taste and add salt,
    pepper and whatever spices strike your fancy (ore-
    gano, basil, and red pepper are good).

    (5) Add the scallops or shrimp and cook until just
    done-about a minute or two. Scallops will turn
    opaque and shrimp will turn pink. Do NOT over-
    cook.

    (6) There should be an excess of oil and fluid. If
    not, add more oil and briefly heat. Transfer the
    mixture to a bowl. Add the couscous and mix
    thoroughly.

    (7) Chill several hours or overnight.

    (8) Stuff into the pita bread (maybe with some tomato)
    and serve.
