Method
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water. Peel the prawns leaving the tail on, cut along the back and remove the dark vein.
- Season the prawns with half the oil, the lemon zest, salt and pepper and thread them onto the skewers.
- Bring the water for the couscous (about one and a half times its volume) to the boil with a pinch of salt, pour it over the couscous in a bowl, cover and leave for 5 minutes; then fluff it with a fork.
- Meanwhile wash the courgettes and peppers, remove the pepper seeds and pith and cut everything into 1 cm dice. Stir-fry with the remaining oil over high heat for 6 minutes, until tender but still crunchy; salt.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan well over high heat and grill the skewers for 2 minutes per side, until the prawns are pink and opaque.
- Mix the couscous with the vegetables and torn mint and serve with the skewers.
