Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, feta, capers and black pepper.

- Add the broth to the skillet, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add the couscous, stir, cover and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add to the bowl of the shrimp and tomato mixture.
- Add the lemon juice and toss well. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
