Russian roulette recipe a la Google

All that was in the kitchen was a half-box of couscous, freezer-burned shrimp, a wrinkling red pepper, and a sliver of some forgotten feta. Had no energy to think of what to cook and couldn't be bothered going to the supermarket either. I typed in the four previously mentioned rations into the Google bar, added "recipe" and what to my wondering eyes should appear than a recipe that called for those exact ingredients! Slowly simmered the couscous in veggie boullion and saffron. Meanwhile fried the shrimp with onions, the red pepper, red wine vinegar, about ten cloves of garlic, and various herbs. Threw it all together and crumbled the feta on top. It called for zucchini, but no way was I going to pay 300yen for one of those things. Next time I will add peas and olives but leave out the shrimp!
