ONE-PAN SHRIMP AND PEARL COUSCOUS WITH HARISSA



One-Pan Shrimp and Pearl Couscous With Harissa image

This easy dish relies on harissa for its flavorful broth. Different brands can vary wildly in flavor and heat, so incorporate the harissa slowly, especially if yours is very spicy, and add more at the end to taste. The final dish does have some sauciness to it: The starch from the couscous will thicken the sauce in the few minutes it takes to go from stovetop to table, but you may want to provide a spoon along with a fork. If you prefer a drier dish, you can reduce the amount of water by 1/4 cup.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons harissa paste, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 cup pearl couscous or orzo
3 to 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved crosswise
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, packed, coarsely chopped or left whole

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper and 1 tablespoon harissa. Set aside.
  • In a large, lidded skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add couscous, garlic, coriander and cumin. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until couscous is toasted.
  • Add wine and cook until evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of harissa and 2 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until couscous is al dente. (There will still be plenty of liquid.)
  • Nestle the shrimp into the couscous, pushing them under the surface a bit. Add the tomatoes and increase the heat until simmering again. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, rearranging shrimp using tongs once, until they are pink and cooked through. Adjust seasoning, if needed, adding more harissa, salt and pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve in shallow bowls.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ tsp cumin seed
3 carrots , coarsely grated
200g couscous
400g raw prawn
16 cherry tomatoes
1 onion , cut into 12 thin wedges, leaving root intact
1 tbsp harissa
2 tsp tahini paste
2 tbsp low-fat natural yogurt
1 small garlic clove , crushed
juice ½ lemon , plus wedges, to serve
handful mint leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a pan with the cumin seeds and toast for a few mins until aromatic. Tip in the carrots, season, then cook for 3 mins until tender. Transfer to a bowl, then pour over the couscous and 400ml hot water. Cover with cling film and leave for 10 mins, or until all the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the grill to high. Put the prawns, cherry tomatoes and onion wedges in another bowl, season, then stir in the harissa. Thread everything onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water first to prevent burning), then lay on a baking tray. Grill for 2-3 mins each side, or until the prawns are cooked though.
  • Mix the tahini, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice and seasoning to make a sauce. Fork the mint though the couscous, transfer to a platter and place the skewers on top. Drizzle over any cooking juices, and serve with a dollop of sauce and lemon wedges.
