Curry Couscous with Shrimp & Zucchini



I love the couscous in Cyma... it's flavorful and I feel like I'm eating healthy! But of course, with the prices in Cyma, you cannot eat there often.

Couscous is definitely healthier than white rice and pasta. I got the information below from Wikipedia:

Couscous is among the healthiest grain-based products. It has a glycemic load per gram 25% below that of pasta. It has a superior vitamin profile to pasta, containing twice as much riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate, and containing four times as much thiamine and pantothenic acid.

In terms of protein, couscous has 3.6 g for every 100 calories, equivalent to pasta, and well above the 2.6 g for every 100 calories of white rice. Furthermore, couscous contains a 1% fat-to-calorie ratio, compared to 3% for white rice, 5% for pasta, and 11.3% for rice pilaf.
