Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi with Couscous

After a not-so-healthy dinner on Friday, Josh and I are trying to eat more at home (and healthier!). We both took health risk assessments, and our areas of improvement are nutrition, exercise and stress. We've been cooking at home more and more, and are starting to take nightly walks (which the dogs sure do appreciate)!

I read the most recent Cooking Light issue during my flight to Virginia this past week. One of the recipes, for Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi, caught my eye - we've been eating seafood a couple of times a week lately, and it looked great.

I used some garlic and olive oil couscous we had in the pantry, but otherwise followed the recipe. While Josh does not consider this to be shrimp scampi due to the absence of cream, it is definitely an easy recipe to make - took less than 20 minutes, and the only thing I don't always have on hand is shrimp! Of course, it doesn't hurt that it tastes delicious too!

This will be a repeat...
