6 Minute Meal & Deal: Jet Wine Bar's Garlic Shrimp

The Meal: Garlic shrimp with couscous & cilantro yogurt sauce from Jet Wine Bar Executive Chef Yasi Sapp

Ingredients

Shrimp:

1lb large shrimp

2 tsp olive oil

tbsp minced garlic (pre-minced or store bought)

tsp chili powder

1 tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

Couscous:

1 cup hot vegetable stock

1 cup couscous

1 tbsp unsalted butter

tsp cumin

tsp kosher salt

Yogurt sauce:

cup plain Greek yogurt

cup chopped cilantro

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

tsp minced garlic

tsp honey

Pinch of kosher salt

Chef Tip: You can pre-prepare and store the yogurt sauce in the refrigerator

Process

1. Place couscous in a medium bowl with cumin, salt and butter. Pour hot stock over couscous and cover with foil. Let sit 4-5 mins.

Chef Tip: Stock could be heated stovetop or in the microwave

Chef Tip: The measurement does not have to be exact. As long as the couscous is completely covered, it will cook. The cumin and salt are optional for added flavor

Chef Tip: The chef prefers using a vegetable or chicken stock as opposed to plain water for extra flavor

2. Place shrimp in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper.

Chef Tip: You can marinate the shrimp ahead of time and have it chilling in the refrigerator, ready to go

3. Heat nonstick pan over medium.

Chef Tip: You do not need to add oil to the pan as the shrimp are marinating in olive oil already

4. Add shrimp, cooking until cooked through, about 1 min on each side.

Chef Tip: When the tail starts to turn orange, the shrimp is ready to flip. Those in the middle of the pan cook faster so will be the first to flip

5. While cooking shrimp: Mix yogurt, cilantro, lime, garlic, honey and salt in a bowl.

6. Uncover couscous and fluff with a fork.

7. Plate components starting with bed of couscous, topped with shrimp and then drizzle yogurt sauce on top and enjoy!
