    This was quick and easy to do. I dont do the cous cous in a bowl but add it in the pan with the stock after cooking the onions then it all cooks together and the flavours are better throughout. I also added chopped pepper to mine as well.

    This is really tasty! ven hubbie whi isn't keen on prawns loved it! I did worry about the cous cous being bland, but cooked it as the recipe said and it was great with the sauce. I added half a red pepper with the onion and some small prawns that we had in the freezer went in with the king prawns. i also increased the harissa to three or four teaspoons to give it an extra kick. will definitely cook again

    Very Nice, one to make again. Added extra harrisa and sliced red pepper as recommended, felt the sauce lacked a little depth of flavour so added fish stock cube. Cous Cous complimented it well, but added extra finely chopped corriander and freshly ground black pepper to jazz it up a little. The sauce gave enough moisture to the cous cous, and the prawns were lovley and succulent, Harrissa gave a slighly smoky hint.

    Tasty and very easy, but nothing special. Didn't feel like the Harissa added much - all the flavour came from the tomatoes and coriander. I used cooked instead if raw prawns and it was fine.

    Delicious mid-week meal although I did add extra harissa and cumin to give it a bit more spice. Next time I'll also add peppers.

    This was delicious! Only problem was that I was left with a load of sauce at the end after everything else had gone. Though that was almost certainly down to the fact I was picking at the prawns throughout the evening... Mmm prawns...

    (oh, and I'm scared of cooking prawns from raw and poisoning myself so I used cooked prawns as a cheat, and just warmed them through)

    This was a brilliant quick dinner for friends. Harissa gives it a real smokey flavour and it's healthy and light- filling but really tasty. Love it and went down very well.
