Here is how to cook couscous with fried shrimps and plantain. Minced meat and other ingredients were present in the meal.
HOW TO COOK COUSCOUS
Couscous can be cooked plain, and served with a sauce.
However I prefer mine in a jollof form.
Fry the ingredients ( I ground pepper tomato and onions in the blender ) after frying add little water ( pls set aside hot water in a kettle because you are not to put cold water once the couscous is on fire).
I added my minced meat, diced gizzard, diced kidney( this is optional) add the couscous, once you put it in the pot reduce the burner to the lowest, it will look like porridge don’t worry, use the spoon that has two mouth like a fork or use a fork to stir it.
It will look better.
Add the hot water in the couscous if it still looks strong.
Add your vegetables ( I used green pepper, carrot, spring onions, green peas) after two minutes turn off the heat.
I added little salt and Maggi to the shrimps and fried, same with the plantain.
So, that’s how I cook COUSCOUS with fried shrimps and plantain.

Couscous is a type of North African semolina, made from crushed durum wheat.
Couscous is pasta in grain form
@ Debo,pls can i gt shrimps @ zaria?
Good job Debs. Looks great and seems like it would taste great too.
The only time I ever had couscous put me off it, probably 'cos it wasn't well prepared.
This has got me interested again, thanks.
ps: a lot seems to have happened since I was last here, a new blog and all. It's a bit distracting going back and forth but I guess I'll just have to get used to it 🙂

Hi Deborah,
Your dish looks delicious. I was wondering if you could post a more completely translated version of this recipe because I am African-American and want to make sure I cook this dish properly. Thank you. Best regards
