  • Meanwhile, boil 2 1/2 cup of water.
  • Return the Chorizo to the cooking pot and add the couscous, a little olive oil, a dash of salt and the boiling water. Turn the heat off immediately and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir in the fresh parsley.
  • Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy! (see suggested sides)

SPICY COUSCOUS WITH SHRIMP CHICKEN AND CHORIZO ..AKA YUM!



Spicy Couscous With Shrimp Chicken and Chorizo ..aka Yum! image

I just had to add this recipe! My husband and I love it and we absolutely cook it at least once a month..if not more! It can get kind of spicy so beware of how much spice you like and alter the amount! This recipe is based off of one I saw on the Rachael Ray talk show..but I never could find the actual recipe so its just what I can remember from some notes I jotted down!! ** I usually don't have the Saffron and this is just as great without it, so don't fret if you don't have that spice because its outrageously expensive!
