Method

Serve prawns over couscous and drizzle with reserved sauce and lemon.

Marinate the prawns in the refrigerator for one hour.

Heat a griddle pan and cook prawns for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until pink.

Combine couscous and 400ml boiling water in a bowl.

Blend all piri-piri ingredients except prawns in a food processor until smooth.

Stir in the harissa, pomegranate molasses, baharat, and lemon juice.

Cover with cling film and set aside for 4 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Fluff with a fork and mix in the red onion, pomegranate seeds, and coriander.

Rub the prawns with the piri-piri sauce, reserving some for garnish.
