Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tsp Moroccan spice
- 24 medium green moroccan marinated prawns, peeled, with tails intact and butterflied
- 200ml chicken-style liquid stock
- 30g butter
- 1 cup (200g) couscous
- 2 red onions, finely sliced
- 300g red grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- 50g flaked almonds, toasted
- Lemon wedges, to serve
Method
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of oil, Moroccan spice, and prawns. Marinate for 30 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring the stock and butter to a boil, then remove from heat.
- Add the couscous to the saucepan, cover, and set aside for 3 minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
- Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes until it begins to caramelize around the edges. Increase heat, add tomatoes, and toss for 1 minute.
- Add the couscous and cook for another minute. Fold in parsley and almonds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chargrill the prawns for 20 seconds on each side or until golden. Serve the couscous topped with prawns and lemon wedges.
