Just one anchovy filet, fried and mashed, is a nod to traditional Caesar dressing, and adds depth and special flavor to the shrimp. It takes no time at all for the shrimp to cook, so keep a close eye and toss often for even color. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

Make couscous

Add escarole, season with salt, and toss until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. -
Finish
Add lemon juice and ½ of Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve salad over couscous topped with remaining Parmesan, a sprinkle of cracked pepper, and lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
