Feta Shrimp with Roasted Tomatoes

It has been very busy at work, at home and with everything else! I am posting this one, which has gotten to be one of my favorite recipes from this Glorious One Pot Meals cookbook.

I got a Dutch oven from hubbie for Christmas, and it has been an amazing gift. This is one easy recipe for a weeknight dinner, as long as you have 45 minutes to let this one cook in the oven. It also has one of my new favorite ingredients, whole wheat couscous from Trader Joe's.


Ingredients

Olive oil spray
One 14 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes
1/2 cup whole wheat couscous
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
1/2 to 3/4 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup feta cheese
1/2 medium zuchini


Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray the inside and lid of the cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil. Drain the tomatoes into a measuring cup. Add water if necessary to get 1/2 cup of liquid. Reserve the tomatoes. Pour the couscous into the pot and add the tomato liquid. Stir to coat each grain and make an even layer. Pack the spinach into the pot. In a medium bowl, stir the tomatoes, shrimp, parsley, lemon juice and feta, and add to the pot. Arrange the zucchini slices on top ( like in the picture above). Cover and bake for about 45 minutes.

The amazing thing about this recipe too is that it is only 349 calories per serving, with 6g of fiber.
Enjoy!
