I still need to find pillows and accessorize, but here is a picture of my bed. Not bad for $25 bucks!

I have been trying to cook one new recipe a week. I made this one tonight. It is a great summer meal-nice, light, and FAST!

Lemony Shrimp with White Beans and Couscous

1 10 oz box couscous (1 1/2 c)
salt and pepper
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 15 oz can cannellini beans, rinsed
1/2 c fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

In a saucepan, bring 2 c water to a boil. Stir in the couscous and 1/4 tsp salt. Cover and let sit off heat for 5 min; fluff with a fork before stirring.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add the garlic and scallions and cook for 30 sec. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until they begin to turn pink, about 3 min.

Stir in the beans, parsley, lemon juice, the remaining butter, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook until heated through, 2-3 min. Serve with the couscous.
