Instructions
Step 1
Pat shrimp dry. Season generously with the Flavorgod Lemon & Garlic seasoning or the seasoning blend of your choice.
Step 2
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large high-rimmed sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the butter starts to foam, add the seasoned shrimp in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes a side then remove to a plate.
Step 3
Turn the heat to medium. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally. About midway through cooking the onions, pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get up any stuck bits. Cook for about 5 minutes in total.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for a minute. Add the uncooked pearl couscous, stir to combine, and toast for a minute.
Step 5
Add the drained and rinsed white beans, chicken broth, and mustard. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until the couscous is cooked through, stirring occasionally so the couscous doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add additional water or chicken broth as needed if the liquid is absorbing too quickly.
Step 6
Once the couscous is cooked, add back the shrimp. Stir to combine. Squeeze on the juice of 1/2 a lemon or more to taste.
Step 7
Serve immediately with additional lemon juice, fresh basil/parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil.
