Instructions
Step 1
In a small pot, bring the broth, butter, harissa and lemon zest to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the couscous. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the grains of couscous with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Add the basil. Cover and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet over high heat, brown the sausages in the oil for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside on a plate. Soften the tomatoes and onion for 2 minutes in the leftover cooking fat in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with ¼ cup (60 ml) of the dressing. Add the olives. Set aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the arugula with the remaining dressing.
Step 4
Divide the couscous, arugula, tomato and shrimp mixtures among four bowls. Garnish with hummus and more basil leaves.
Note
Greek basil can be replaced with parsley or chives.
