Cooking Steps

Cook couscous
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
Prep and broil veggies
2
  • Meanwhile, quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch quarter-moons.
  • Using a fork, pierce tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini, tomatoes and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Broil veggies in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, stirring halfway until veggies are lightly charred and tender.
Cook shrimp
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • While pan heats, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, shrimp and Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**
  • Transfer shrimp to a plate.
Make coconut sauce
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • Add coconut milk, stock powder and half the curry paste (use all for 4 servings).
  • Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Add shrimp. Stir to coat.
Finish and serve
5
  • Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir in spinach

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The coconut curry sauce was a standout, pairing beautifully with the shrimp; some reviewers found the overall flavour mild and would have liked a bolder curry presence.
  • Ease of prep: Most found this dish quick and straightforward to pull together, with minimal prep and easy cleanup.
  • Suggestions: Use the full curry paste packet for a stronger flavour, and consider adding the spinach directly to the warm sauce rather than the couscous so it wilts properly. Cooking the shrimp in the air fryer is a great alternative that yields excellent results.
  • Leftovers: Leftovers kept well and tasted just as good the next day.
  • Couscous: Some reviewers preferred rice over couscous for this dish; others were pleasantly surprised by how well the couscous absorbed the sauce.
