So simple and delicious. We all liked it. We didn't have shallot so we skipped the step 2. We used a can of corn and it was still good but next time I'll try with frozen corn. Thanks Wi Cheesehead. Made for Zaar Star Game.

The family enjoyed this dish - plenty of flavour. We served it with the Oven Fried Garlic chicken (recipe 83561) and this was a good match.

As written, a little bland for our taste, but easily salvagable with the addition of a little more cayenne and some fresh herbs.

This was such a simple side and really added a nice bit of flavor to my couscous. The surprise was that it was the combination of the shallots and corn that really made the dish and gave this a rounded and slightly sweet flavor. I ended up tossing in some fresh basil ribbons in place of the cayenne and that took this to a new level as the herb elevated the sweetness of he fresh corn. My one commment was that at the end of the cooking time, my couscous was still rather hard as there was not enough liquid. I ended up bringing another 1/2 cup of broth to a boil in a separate pot, adding it to the couscous and letting it seep an additional 3 minutes. Thanks.
