Ingredients
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
-
⅔ cup whole-wheat couscous
-
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
8 cups chopped kale
-
¼ cup water
-
1 large clove garlic, smashed
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp (26-30 per pound)
-
¼ cup barbecue sauce (see Tip)
Directions
-
Combine broth and poultry seasoning in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in Parmesan and butter. Cover to keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add kale and cook, stirring, until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Add water, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Make a well in the center of the kale and add 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, undisturbed, for 15 seconds, then stir the garlic oil into the kale and season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
-
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and shrimp to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and curled, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in barbecue sauce. Serve the shrimp with the kale and couscous.
Tips
Tip: The barbecue sauce aisle has expanded to include any flavor you can imagine--like sweet mustard and even Dr. Pepper--but a classic or "original" variety pairs best with the Parmesan couscous. Look for one that doesn't list an added sweetener as the first ingredient.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
