The area of Madras has one of the hottest cuisines in India, which is known for spicy food. In fact it is one of the biggest exporters of Indian spices. This very simple dish is a favorite there in the south where the use of coconut milk in curries is popular. The sweetness of the milk compliments the pungency of their curries. Egg curry is served at any time and is a great spicy addition to brunch or for a light supper. Serve Mottai Kolambu with white rice and an Indian relish or salad.

A staple in North Africa, cous cous is wheat in granular form that is usually steamed. It is often combined with meats or vegetables, and of course we’ve added chiles to it. The marinade is quite sweet–but works well with the shrimp. Interestingly, this is a re-creation of a dish Nancy was served in the British Virgin Islands. Serve with a salad of star fruit, avocado, and grapefruit, and a cooling Key lime sorbet for dessert.

Ingredients

For the Sweet-Hot Coconut Marinade:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground habanero chile

• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or substitute ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1/4 cup coconut cream

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh preferred

• 2 dozen medium shrimp, shelled and deveined, tails on

For the Jalapeño-Cilantro Cous Cous:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 shallots, chopped

• 1 jalapeño chile, stem and seeds removed, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 2 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup cous cous

For the Kabobs:

• 1 green or red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, cut in wedges

• 1 small onion, cut and separated into wedges

Instructions

Combine the brown sugar, pepper, garlic, thyme, honey, and coconut milk, and mix well. Slowly whisk the oil in the marinade. Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour the marinade over them, coating them well. Cover and marinate the shrimp for 1 hour at room temperature.

For the cous cous, heat the oil in a pan and saute the garlic, shallot, and jalapeño until soft. Stir in the thyme. In a pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil and pour over the couscous in a bowl, flake with a fork and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid. Add the shallot mixture, cilantro, and thyme and toss to mix well. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Thread the shrimp on skewers alternating with the vegetables. Grill the shrimp over a medium fire, basting frequently with the marinade until done, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally.

To serve, spoon the cous cous onto a warm serving platter. Lay the kabobs over the cous cous and serve.
