Moroccan shrimp and couscous salad

 Ever get some fresh stuff at the grocery store and wonder, "what'll I do with that"?  We did. Fresh cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and arugula.  Hmm...saladish...and I've been wanting something Middle-eastern... How about a play on tabouleh and some spicy shrimp to go with it?

For the shrimp:
2 lbs shrimp, peeled
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp Ras el Hanout
1/4 cup olive oil









For the salad:
1 lb(2 2/3 cup) couscous
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup olive oil
5 oz. arugula
1 large sweet onion
6 dates
2 large cucumbers
2 cups cherry tomato(these were yellow)
1 Tbsp Zaatar
1 tsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp salt
















The key here is that the salty shrimp are balanced by the salad.
