instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients & make the lemon labneh
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then large dice. In a bowl, combine the labneh, lemon purée, and 2 tablespoons of water. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
2
Start the vegetables
Place the tomatoes and diced peppers in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until slightly softened. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.
3
Make the breadcrumb topping
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave (or melt in a small pot, then transfer to a medium bowl). Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. To the bowl of melted butter, add the chopped garlic, breadcrumbs, za'atar, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
4
Bake the shrimp & vegetables
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Carefully place the seasoned shrimp on top of the partially baked vegetables. Evenly top with the breadcrumb topping. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are browned and the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from the oven.
5
Cook the couscous
Meanwhile, add the couscous to the pot of boiling water. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
6
Dress the couscous & serve your dish
To the pot of cooked couscous, add the salsa verde, currants, and feta (crumbling before adding). Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the baked shrimp and vegetables topped with the lemon labneh. Serve the dressed couscous on the side. Enjoy!
