For the Lemon Garlic Couscous
- 2 tbsp Member's Mark™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1½ tsp Minced garlic
- 1¼ cup Low sodium chicken broth

- 2 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt, as desired

Instructions
For the Weber® Ultimate Garlic Shrimp Kabobs
- In a small bowl, combine Member's Mark™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, lemon zest, parsley, and Weber® Ultimate Garlic Seasoning. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate bowl for later.
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt . Place the shrimp in a large bowl and pour the marinade all over. Toss to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes (do not go longer).
- Thread the shrimp on skewers, about 4 large shrimp per skewer. Note - if you're using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes prior to using.
- Preheat a gas grill to high. Then, reduce heat to low (temperature should be somewhere between 275ºF to 325ºF). Carefully grease the cooking grates. Once the grill reaches the recommended temperature, add the shrimp skewers and close the lid. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until no longer translucent.
- Transfer the grilled shrimp skewers to a platter with the couscous (recipe below) and spoon the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Add a splash of lemon juice. Serve immediately.
For the Lemon Garlic Couscous
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Remove pan from heat, pour in chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, and season with Member’s Mark™ Sea Salt to taste. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Pour in couscous into pan, stir, then remove from heat and immediately cover with lid. Let rest 4 - 5 minutes off heat.
- Add parsley and fluff couscous with a fork. Finish with a little more olive oil, and place couscous on a platter. Top with the shrimp kabobs.
