Ingredients

1 ⅔ cups water
1 ⅓ cups Israeli couscous, uncooked
¾ pound raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ tablespoon Greek seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium heads romaine lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ English cucumber, chopped
¼ cup vinaigrette salad dressing

Steps:

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is completely absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon into a large bowl to cool slightly.
Toss shrimp with Greek seasoning.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until simmering. Add shrimp and cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add shrimp to couscous with romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumber, and vinaigrette; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
