                                      Step 1

                                      Heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear. Remove from pan and set aside.

                                      Step 2

                                      Add couscous blend to pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until grains and vegetables are thoroughly separated. Add sofrito and combine. Add chicken thighs back to pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes, add shrimp cover and allow them to cook through. Once both chicken and shrimp are cooked thoroughly remove from heat and serve. Garnish with cut lemons and parsley.

                                      Step 3

                                      Serve this dish family-style and have each guest make their own bowl.
