Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 oz hard Spanish Chorizo, sliced into thin rounds
Extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve olive oil)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finally chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped
1 1/4 tsp turmeric
1 1/4 tsp paprika
1 1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt
1.5 lb large shrimp (prawns),peeled, deviened and well-rinsed
1 1/4 cup couscous
Boiling water
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, stems removed

Steps:

  • In a large cooking pot, heat just a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Add the Chorizo sausages and cook just until crisp (hard Spanish chorizo should be cooked already.) Remove from heat and place on paper towels to drain.
  • To the cooking pot, add onions, garlic and jalapeno, cook briefly until onions are translucent. Now add the spices and stir briefly, then add the shrimp. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook the shrimp for 3 to 4 mins or until it is firm and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp.
  • Meanwhile, boil 2 1/2 cup of water.
  • Return the Chorizo to the cooking pot and add the couscous, a little olive oil, a dash of salt and the boiling water. Turn the heat off immediately and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir in the fresh parsley.
  • Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy! (see suggested sides)
