Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/2 lb Scallops or Shrimp 1 1/2 C Vegetable (such as
1/4 C Olive oil -eggplant or zucchini)
1 md Onion Salt, pepper and
1 Garlic cloves -spices (to taste)
-(more or less to taste) 1 1/2 C Couscous, cooked
3/4 C Mushrooms Pita bread

Cut up the vegetables into small (about 1/2 inch) cubes. Slice the
mushrooms.

If using shrimp, peel and de-vein the shrimp and cut into small cubes.

In a small amount of olive oil, saute the onion and the optional garlic
until the onion is soft but not quite transparent.

Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet and add the vegetable and
mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables are almost soft. Taste and add salt,
pepper and whatever spices strike your fancy (oregano, basil and red pepper
are good). Add the scallops or shrimp and cook until just done, about a
minute or two. Scallops will turn opaque and shrimp will turn pink. Do NOT
overcook.

There should be an excess of oil and fluid. If not, add more oil and
briefly heat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the couscous and mix
thoroughly. Chill several hours or overnight.

Stuff into the pita bread (maybe with some tomato) and serve.

NOTES:

* Pita-Seafood Salad Sandwiches -- This recipe is more of a formula than a
recipe. It is excellent for a cool dinner in the summer (any time after
February in Texas!) Yield: Serves 2-4.

* You could substitute almost any vegetable and crab or a firm fish. To
use this for a picnic, don't stuff the pita bread until you are about to
serve it. Err on the side of too much oil, since the couscous absorbs the
oil (and a recent study says that olive oil may be good for you).

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, overnight chilling.
: Precision: no need to measure.
