Couscous is always from a box? As in dried like pasta/rice.
You pour it into a bowl (add seasoning if you want), pour boiling water over it and wait a few minutes. Then it's done.
Now you just put in some harissa (and lemon juice) and mix it. It's just a north african chili paste. If it's precooked couscous (why tf? save yourself the money and buy dry!) just add the harissa after you warmed it up. Or mix it in cold.
I get my shrimp and seafood at Costco because it's a better deal. To quote Jimmy Yang, look for old Asian ladies when you shop because you know you'll get a good deal. Aldi, Costco, and the Asian market for specialty ingredients. The Mexican tienda is cool too for peppers and other ingredients.
The local chain has contracts with the meat processors and has inspectors that walk the floor. They have fresh, high quality chicken breast for $2/lb. Pork chops are usually $2 each. The steaks are good too but you pay for them. I like shitty cuts, so I just get them at Costco too.
I have seen oysters and scallops. Not on the half shell, but that's to be expected in a landlocked state. I usually get frozen raw tail off shrimp that I throw into a lot of stuff.
I wish I could tell you a good universal way to cook them, but I overcook them about 40% of the time. I'll still eat them because they're delicious. A good recipe for skewers is you make a brine of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, lemon juice, chilli oil, salt and pepper. Brine the shrimp for about 20 minutes, heat a cast iron skillet to medium heat. Put about 6 shrimp per skewer, cook for 3 mins per side, serve with Jasmine rice.

I made this post to brag and to gloat about how everything that you've ever tried to do to stop the transgender acceptance movement has failed. Transgender acceptance is, somewhat ironically, the pinnacle of American exceptionalism.
I use the bathroom which aligns with my gender identity. I have never had a problem.
One time I was on a team and we got new shirts. The women (including me) shuffled off into another room to change. No one batted an eye that I was there; literally no one cared.
I got into an argument with a cis woman regarding trans women in sports. I said that it is reasonable for sporting bodies to analyze statistics, hormone levels, etc. and set reasonable guidelines (e.g. hormone testing) for transfem competitors. She argued that HRT changes your hormones and that you should be eligible as long as you're on it.
People tell me that I pass very well; the last time that I got misgendered was when I went to vote and they saw my s*x on my ID. (I voted dem ofc)
You may have noticed that all of these examples have to do with cis women. That's because most of my friends are women; women accept me as one of their own. That's because I am a woman, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
I was talking to a man and somehow we got into the conversation about whether it would be gay to date a trans woman. He straight-up said "It would be a straight relationship if I was dating you." Keep in mind this guy is raised Catholic, and he's a very non-degenerate and popular guy.
Speaking of which my prestigious Catholic high school ($20k+ yearly tuition) let me wear a dress to the prom. (I am obv no longer in high school, this was a few years ago.) While using an affirmed name was against their policy, the principal used my affirmed name on the last day. I had other teachers approach me during the school year and ask about my gender identity, apparently because it was obvious. They started using my affirmed name in private.
Everyone that I know is at least a leftist, ranging from classical Democrat to anarcho-communist. We hear occasionally of the mythical republican, but I don't know of any by name. They are a dying breed here.
These people -- these young people who accept me -- are the building blocks of our future society. Boomers aren't getting any younger. My friends who work at Raytheon call it ✨Gaytheon✨. We will bomb the middle east and we'll make it gay.
Everything that you have ever done to sabotage the trans acceptance movement has failed.

I get my seafood or nice meat from Whole Foods. You pay a pretty penny but it's still wayyy less and wayyy better than eating out.

I wish I could tell you a good universal way to cook them, but I overcook them about 40% of the time. I'll still eat them because they're delicious. A good recipe for skewers is you make a brine of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, lemon juice, chilli oil, salt and pepper. Brine the shrimp for about 20 minutes, heat a cast iron skillet to medium heat. Put about 6 shrimp per skewer, cook for 3 mins per side, serve with Jasmine rice.
