Cajun Shrimp & Couscous

First, I am sorry that I have not been able to post for at least a week now!  It has been a crazy for me in the past week, but all good things!  Last Wednesday was my fiance's birthday and he wanted shrimp.  So, like most of you, I took to Pinterest to find a recipe.  I liked the Paula Dean Fiery Cajun Shrimp recipe, however, did not want to use two sticks of butter!  Instead of using the sticks of butter, I used coconut butter.  Coconut butter and oil have many health benefits and are better for you than butter.  (here are some health benefits).  The coconut flavor does come through a tiny bit in the food, but for this recipe I think it works well.  I paired the shrimp with Pine Nut Near East Couscous.  This was a quick, easy and flavorful dish.  I hope you enjoy!!
