Moroccan Prawns with Couscous

this is sounds like such a big recipe but if you just follow the steps it is not as daunting as it sounds and the end result is gorgeous. i made this as i have been trying to recreate a recipe i have had at a local restaurant. i know this is not exactly how they would make it but it tasted wonderful and both myself and my hubby absolutely loved this.
