Directions
‘Masala’ is a term used in South Asian cuisines to describe a mixture of spices used to flavour a dish. This dish usesa garlic-based masala that echoes my wife Sohani’s Indian heritage. The taste combination of the garlic and chilli, juicy mango and a flavour blast of fresh herbs will put the sizzle in any summer entertaining you might be planning.
- Place the prawns into a large ceramic bowl and add the Bitton Chilli Garlic Masala or fresh chilli and garlic, olive oil and sea salt.
- Mix well to coat them prawns.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
Salad
- Place a small saucepan over high heat, add water and bring to the boil.
- Add some sea salt to taste and a tablespoon of oil.
- Place the couscous in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over the top.
- Cover and let stand for about 5 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork, set aside in a warm place. When ready to serve, add the tomato, onion, mango and coriander to the couscous, combine well.
- Pre-heat the barbecue or frying pan.
- Place the prawns onto the barbeque and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Add a squeeze of lemon to the prawns when you finish cooking them.
To Serve:
- Place a mound of couscous salad on each plate, top with three or four prawns and garnish with a lemon wedge and baby herbs.
- You can also use an egg ring to form a neat stack.
