Preparation

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Finely chop parsley. Quarter lemon.

• Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, 1⁄2 tsp chili flakes (3⁄4 tsp for 4 servings (use less if you prefer less heat), salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the minced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in couscous, stock concentrate, 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While couscous cooks, rinse shrimp under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and almost cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • Add 2 TBSP water (3 TBSP for 4 servings); cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), remaining minced garlic, and a pinch of chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. • Remove pan from heat. Add half the parsley and juice from half the lemon and toss to combine.

• Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in remaining parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

• Divide couscous between bowls. Top with shrimp and broccoli. Spoon any remaining garlic butter from pan over shrimp. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice. ***Shellfish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
