- 1In a bowl mix soy sauce with sesame oil and chilli paste and toss with the prawns. Thread the prawns and chorizo onto sticks. I like to put three prawns and two chorizo slices per kebab. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a pan. Stir in the onion and capsicum and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat. Stir in cumin and season with salt and pepper. Add the pearl couscous and stir for 20 seconds. Add the stock, stir well and bring to a low simmer. Cover pan with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes until the couscous is cooked. Cook kebabs and cherry tomatoes on a grill or hot plate for a few minutes. Spoon the couscous on plates with the kebabs and tomatoes. Serve with coriander and lime wedges and sprinkle kebabs with sesame seeds.
