Recipe Introduction


This recipe brings a new meaning to the words "fast food." 10 minutes are all you need to get this hearty, one-dish dinner on the table.





List of Ingredients



• 1 10-ounce box couscous (1 1/2 cups)
  
• Kosher salt and black pepper
  
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  
• 4 scallions, chopped
  
• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  
• 1 15.5-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed
  
• 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
  
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  






Instructions



1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in the couscous and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and let sit off heat for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork before serving.
   
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and scallions and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they begin to turn pink, about 3 minutes.
   
3. Stir in the beans, parsley, lemon juice, the remaining butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the couscous.
