2 small navel oranges, 1 halved and 1 sliced into rounds

1 c. couscous

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

Kosher salt and pepper

1 lb. thin asparagus, trimmed

1 tbsp.

olive oil

1 1/4 lb. large peeled and deveined prawns

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Directions

Heat grill to medium-high. Squeeze juice from one orange half into a bowl (you should have 1⁄4 cup). Add couscous, spring onion, and 1⁄4 tsp salt, then 1 cup tap water, and let sit, covered, 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss asparagus with oil and 1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper. Season prawns with cumin, cayenne, and 1⁄4 tsp salt.
Place asparagus, orange slices, and remaining orange half on the grill and cook until oranges are charred and asparagus is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
Add prawns to the grill and cook until opaque throughout, about 2 minutes per side. Squeeze grilled orange half over prawns just before they are done. Fluff couscous and serve with prawns, asparagus, and orange slices.
