Serves: 4
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
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.
In a small bowl, toss together the prawns, garlic sauce, salt, and pepper; set aside.
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.
In the same skillet, cook the prawns on medium heat, about 3 minutes per side or until no longer translucent.
Serve couscous topped with garlic spinach and prawns. Top with sesame seeds, if desired.
