Shrimp Couscous Salad

This is a Cooking Light recipe that I adjusted and changed a little. It is a unique and wonderful combination of ingredients. I am craving more now while I am posting this. I think it's mostly the sesame oil, vinegar, and fresh cilantro. Or maybe the couscous and the peanuts. Well, give it a try, and you be the judge.
