2. Once boiled, turn off the heat and add the 200g of couscous. Place a cover over the pot and leave the couscous to steam for 5 -6 minutes.

3. Whilst the couscous is cooking, place the remainder of the recommended amount of olive oil (10ml) into a sauce pan. chop the tomatoes, apricots, chilli powder, turmeric and garlic and place them all in the prepared saucepan.

5. Then add in all the cooked prawns into the saucepan for 1 minute. Be sure to stir the prawns in the mixture well.

6. Once the couscous is ready, it will appear flat. Grab a fork to fluff it up and break up the clumps for light and perfect couscous.
