Blue Apron ~ Spiced Shrimp and Pearl Couscous

I love couscous.  It goes well with any dish.  Tonight is was mixed with Spiced Shrimp and sautéed zucchini.  Before the shrimp was cooked, it was coated in a light summer spice blend of ground fennel, ground turmeric and Aleppo pepper.  The result was a nice light flavor, balanced with tomato sauce and verjus rouge.

I had never heard of verjus rouge.  It is the pressed juice of unripened grapes.  It is used in a way similar to vinegar, but it had a gentler flavor and is a bit more "sweet-tart."

This dish was delicious and definitely one I will try again.
