Caribbean Prawn & Veggie Couscous Bowl

with Charred Corn Salsa & Aioli

The couscous is so fluffy that it’s cuddling the fresh prawns in a warm hug. Let those flavours embrace you with Caribbean jerk seasoning, veggies with a zap of corn salsa and aioli drizzled over at the end.

We’ve replaced the sliced leek in this recipe with onion due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Boil the kettle.
• Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). 
• Grate carrot. 
• Finely chop garlic. 
• Drain sweetcorn. 
• In a medium bowl, combine mild Caribbean 
jerk seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add 
peeled prawns and toss to coat. 

Cook the veggies & couscous
2

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and a 
drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
• Cook carrot, onion and garlic, stirring, until 
softened, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and 
cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out the saucepan, then add the water and 
chicken-style stock powder. Bring to the boil. 
• Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a 
lid and remove from heat. 
• Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. 
Fluff up with a fork.

Make the salsa
3

• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high 
heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sweetcorn
until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a 
small bowl. 
• To the charred corn, add a drizzle of white wine
vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt
and pepper and toss to combine. 
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are 
“popping” out.

Cook the prawns
4

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with 
a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to 
curl up, 3-4 minutes. 
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this 
adds to the flavour!

Glaze the prawns
5

• Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and 
toss to coat.

Finish & serve
6

• Stir carrot, onion and garlic through cooked
couscous.
• Divide veggie couscous between bowls. Top with 
charred corn salsa and Caribbean prawns. 
• Serve with garlic aioli. Enjoy!
