Ingredients
  • Couscous:
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
  • .
  • 400g large prawns, peeled
  • 3 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups packed, fresh spinach
  • Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. To make couscous, bring water and salt to a boil over medium heat. Once water is boiling, remove from heat and stir in couscous. Let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add in the sesame oil and chili garlic sauce, stirring to coat. Cover; set aside to keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, toss together the prawns, garlic sauce, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add garlic, stirring until fragrant (just a few minutes). Be sure not to brown the garlic! Add the spinach to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove skillet from heat and keep stirring the spinach - this way the spinach will wilt but the garlic won't burn. Transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, cook the prawns on medium heat, about 3 minutes per side or until no longer translucent.
  5. Serve couscous topped with garlic spinach and prawns. Top with sesame seeds, if desired.
