Lemon Couscous with Shrimp

shrimpcouscous.jpgI had baked the shrimp (450 degree oven with lemon juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper) last night and we only ate half of it, so I was looking for a way to use the rest without cooking it more. Jamie Oliver does this thing with cold couscous and lemon dressing, so I decided to try that.

Whisk 2 tablespoons lemon juice with 5 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in 1 cup cold water, then 1 1/2 cups couscous. Let sit 15 minutes. Last night I added the shrimp, cold, and quartered artichoke hearts. Kind of a summery dish, but it was balmy around here today - 41 degrees!
