Chili Garlic Prawns w/ Couscous Salad

Posted on Jan 28th, 2023

This recipe was originally made with a spice mixture based on garlic, chili, juicy mango and fresh herbs dubbed chili garlic masala. ‘Masala’ is a term used in South Asian cuisines to describe a mixture of spices used to flavor a dish.

However, instead of the chili garlic masala you can use chili flakes and garlic.

Enjoy!
