Stir in couscous and take pot off heat. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork; mix in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and shrimp. Place peppers in greased baking dish and fill with shrimp mixture. Toss the crumbled bread in melted butter and put on top of peppers. Put small amount of water in bottom of dish and bake peppers 350 degrees, loosely covered with foil, for about 15 minutes.
