- Put the couscous in a bowl with enough boiling water to barely cover it, put clingfilm over the top and allow to swell somewhere warm for 10 minutes.
- In a small pan, warm the red-wine vinegar and enough of the sugar to taste pleasantly sweet and sour. When the sugar has completely dissolved add the shallots and allow them to steep off the heat.
- Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick pan then fry the seasoned bass fillets skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently flip over and cook on the flesh side for another 2 minutes or until the fish is just cooked. Allow to rest in the pan somewhere warm while you finish the dish.
- Mix the couscous with the sweet and sour shallots and their liquid and add the brown shrimps, lemon zest and herbs. Mix with the remaining olive oil. Season.
- Arrange a pile of the couscous on a plate, top with the sea bass and drizzle with a little more olive oil.
