Smart Moroccan-Style Shrimp with Cilantro Yogurt Dressing and Couscous

HelloFresh Description:

"Get cozy with this delightfully fresh and warming dish! Juicy shrimp and a medley of veggies are seasoned with our fragrant Harissa Spice Blend, then topped off with a bright and dreamy herb-yogurt dressing and crispy shallots for layers of texture and flavour. It's the smart choice in more ways than one! Smart is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's kilocalorie and carbohydrate amount."

---

The shrimp has a spicy kick thanks to the harissa spice blend. The heat complements the crunchy and sweet veggie combination of tender zucchini, juicy Roma tomatoes, and sweet bell peppers. Couscous is a beautiful side dish because it absorbs the broth's flavour quite nicely and is an excellent vehicle for the herby yogurt dressing, which adds a refreshing and tangy flavour. Lastly, I love the crunch from the crispy shallot topping! It's such a nice contrast to the tender, succulent shrimp and veggies.

The garlic rice is a wonderful side dish to stir-fry. It offers a subtle garlic flavour that enhances the overall dish. In addition, the chicken broth concentrate adds depth and richness to the rice.

This dish is a beautiful combination of savoury, sweet, and spicy flavours, making it an excellent choice for those who love bold and flavorful dishes. The cashews and vegetables add a great texture to the plate, while the garlic rice perfectly complements the stir-fry.

However, the buttery garlic rice and fatty pork made the whole dish too oily for my liking. It was delicious, like Chinese take-out, but my lips were covered with oil afterwards. Something sour or tangy will make the dish better.

To start, the bulgur wheat is cooked to fluffy perfection. It provides a nutritious and satisfying grain that is perfect for filling you up without weighing you down.

The result is a rich and hearty base perfect for soaking up the flavours of the other ingredients.

What is bulgur wheat?

"Bulgur wheat is a whole grain that's commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It's made by boiling and drying wheat berries, then removing the outer bran layer and cracking the remaining kernel into small pieces. The resulting grains have a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy texture that makes them a popular ingredient in salads, stews, and other dishes."

But what really sets this dish apart is the garlic toum. So what is it, exactly? Garlic toum is a traditional Lebanese sauce made from garlic, lemon juice, and oil, emulsified together to create a creamy and tangy dressing that's perfect for drizzling over savoury dishes like these braised chickpeas.

To make HelloFresh's garlic toum, mix garlic minced garlic, mayonnaise, and water until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the chickpeas and bulgur wheat, then top with crumbled feta cheese for a delicious and nutritious meal that's sure to please.

My favourite part of the dish is the strong taste and unique flavour of salty feta cheese.

A seasoned rice pilaf is accented with toasted almonds for some nutty crunch, while North African-spiced turkey and veggies bring warm, earthy vibes to complete the dish! Cal Smart is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's kilocalorie amounts.

Thanks to the Harissa, a North African chilli paste, the dish has a bit of heat and a smoky flavour. I remember seeing a portion of Food Wars (the anime) where I first heard of Harissa. Meanwhile, the basmati rice is perfectly cooked but has a nutty and slightly sweet flavour because of the almonds, which perfectly balances the spicy turkey. Lastly, the parsley adds a bright and fresh note to the dish.

For all three meals, I opted to use the tortilla we got from Costco earlier this month. The smaller tortilla from the HelloFresh kit will go back to the fridge for a quick snack or breakfast this week.

Mexican-Inspired Shrimp Tacos with Crunchy Coleslaw and Garlic-Lime Crema

HelloFresh Description:

You can always rely on tacos to make the family happy, and these are no exception! Tender shrimp are dredged in enchilada-style spices for a hit of smoky, aromatic flavour. A super fresh cabbage and carrot slaw adds the perfect crunch to this mouthwatering dish! Yum!

Because I used a 10-inch tortilla, we had to eat one giant taco instead of three more miniature tacos using a 6-inch tortilla. It was messy and fun to eat. The slaw had a slight bitterness, and I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. The shrimp was succulent, and I loved the tartness of the lime.

It's the last meal from the box that arrived last Saturday, and we're expecting our new box tomorrow.

Replacing the usual beef or pork in the Arrabiata sauce are lentils. They provided an unexpected creaminess to the dish. I also like the freshness of the parsley. Overall, a satisfying meatless meal.
