Andrea Beaman's Couscous with Lamb and Mint Dressing Let's be honest: it's Monday, and an ambitious home-cooked meal is the last idea we want to entertain right now. But don't dial for delivery just yet! This minty Mediterranean couscous dish is big on flavor and free of heavy lifting. (All you need is a pot, a pan, and a blender.)

Recipe: Poached Shrimp with Creamed Corn, Marinated Tomatoes, Butter Beans, and Basil

(We hear that you can sometimes order them through Fresh Direct, but you could also use another type of small shrimp instead.) Green, broad, and flat, butter beans are easy to come by in the South. Lima beans, which we've recently spotted in our local farmers' markets, make a fine substitute.
