Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb large shrimp (fresh or frozen )
1 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried tarragon, crushed
1/2 tsp dried thyme, crushed
1/4 tsp old bay seasoning (or celery salt)
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 (5 5/8 oz) package couscous
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup sliced green onion
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup melted butter
1 (6 oz) package baby spinach
shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

Peel, devein and rinse shrimp if needed, and then pat dry.
Place shrimp in a large self-sealing plastic bag.
Add oil, garlic, tarragon, thyme and Old Bay seasoning and seal bag.
Gently turn and 'massage' the bag to coat the shrimp with the marinade.
Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Prepare the couscous according to the package directions, substituting the chicken broth for the water.
Stir the pine nuts and onions into the couscous and set aside.
Combine the lemon juice and butter in a bowl, and set aside.
Saute the shrimp in a large skillet with the marinade over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turns opaque( Do not overcook or the shrimp will be tough).
Pour half of the butter over the shrimp.
To serve, divide the spinach among individual bowls.
