Place the couscous in a flat shallow dish, add 1 cup of water, 0.5 tsp of salt and 1tbs of olive oil. Mix it with your fingers. You want to make sure all the grains are nicely coated. Leave covered for 10 min.
Pour boiling water into the steamer. If couscous is ready place it into one tier of the steamer. Wait for the steam to come through the couscous, then cover it with the lid. Cook for 15 min.
After 15 minutes, transfer your couscous back into the shallow dish and give it a mix with a fork to separate all the lumps. Add half a cup of water and mix properly. Make sure it is nice and moist. If you feel it's a bit dry, add gradually 1 tbs of water at a time.
Transfer back to the steamer, wait for the steam, cover and cook for another 15 min. Once it’s done, put it back into the shallow dish and mix with 1 tbs of butter. Add salt to taste.
While the couscous is cooling down chop all of your vegetables and place them in the large bowl. Chop the mint and coriander. In a small dish mix all the ingredients for the dressing.
Add the couscous into the bowl with vegetables following by prawns, dressing, mint and coriander. Give the salad a good toss and enjoy!
