So delicious! I added a whole zucchini instead of the celery, and will probably use more veggies next time. The flavor is amazing! I left out the hot sauce, and the spice was just right for me, and my dh just added his hot sauce at the table. I added an extra 1/2 cup water as directed by the couscous box. This one will become a regular at our house!

    This is really good. We used turkey sausages and left out the shrimp because we don't eat shrimp.

    This recipe is WOW! So amazing! Everyone at dinner was impressed with this spicy, colorful, flavorful dish! I recommend this to everyone looking for something different and spicy! My only notes are that; 1- I didn't have andouille sausage so I just used regular link sausage and cut them up the same size as the rest of the meat. 2 - I didn't take the seeds out of the tomato, you can't tell they're there and I find it a pain to do. 3- I didn't add the green peppers. And 4- I stirred in the couscous but added enough chicken stock to make sure that it was a little over moist before I covered it to finish, maybe another 1/3 of a cup. Also, I like spicy but it was just a little too spicy for me so I will cut the creole seasoning back a little next time. For those that like spicy it's perfect, my brother was all smiles and had seconds. I would suggest the possibility of serving this cold as a salad as well, since I ate leftovers cold and enjoyed it that way also. Thanks again, a wonderful recipe!

    This recipe was such a hit, I had to prepare it twice in the first 3 weeks. We often leave out the hot sauce and add our personal choices for hot sauces at the table. I find that I have to adjust the liquid content (depending on the brand of couscous used) to conform with the instructions on the box.
