Caribbean Prawns & Couscous

with Veggies, Charred Corn & Lemon Mayo

There’s a hint of smokiness in the air and it’s coming from these prawns, the All-American mild spice does wonders when cooked into prawns and served on top of a bed of rice. Not to mention, the smokey aioli tossed through the slaw. It’s a firestorm of flavour tonight!

Unfortunately, this week’s capsicum was in short supply, so we’ve replaced it with leek. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!
