Couscous & Shrimp Kabobs
Ingredients:
1 pound large fresh shrimp, shelled & deveined (about 24)
2 medium red, yellow or green peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup apple juice, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 package commercial garlic and olive oil couscous mix
2 cups water
Directions: Combine 1/2 cup apple juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, mustard, thyme and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Stir well; add shrimp and peppers and stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Thread shrimp and peppers onto 4 skewers. Discard marinade. Grill or broil kabobs 4 to 6 inches from heat for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn kabobs and grill an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until shrimp are opaque.

Combine remaining apple juice, olive oil, contents of spice sack from commercial couscous and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir in couscous; cover; remove from heat.
