Preparation

Step 1

1. Add olive oil to pre-heated heavy bottom saucepan. Add cous cous and toast lightly. Add onion, garlic, and carrots, stirring constantly.

2. Add enough fish stock and white wine to cover the cous cous and let simmer. Add curry, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Add scallops, shrimp, and mussels.

3. Once the cous cous has absorbed all of the liquids, continue to add enough fish stock and white wine to cover the cous cous. Adjust seasoning. Continue to add fish stock as needed while checking the doneness of the cous cous. (Typically it will take 4 additions of fish stock to complete the dish.)

4. When cous cous is al dente, then dice butter. Take the cous cous off the heat and stir in the butter.

5. Garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley and diced tomatoes.
