Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 each fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells
1 (5.3 ounce) container VOSKOS® Nonfat Vanilla Greek Yogurt
½ cup water
¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
¾ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup orange juice
¾ cup couscous
½ teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
