Instructions
- Make the mojo sauce. Best to make ahead. See: https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/sauces/cuban-mojo-sauce/
- Add half of the mojo marinade to a bowl and add the shrimp. Stir to incorporate and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until the diced sweet potatoes begin to soften.
- Add the chilies and shallot and cook another 4-5 minutes to soften.
- While the sweet potatoes and chilies are cooking, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add a bit of salt.
- Stir in the couscous and remove from heat. Cover and allow the couscous to absorb the liquid.
- Stir the sweet potato-chili mixture into the couscous and adjust for salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan to medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve the couscous onto 4 plates, then top with shrimp. Drizzle with a spoonful or 2 of the remaining mojo sauce and garnish. Serve with remaining mojo.
Notes
- I love to have a bit of garlicky hot sauce with this meal.
