Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the onion and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes or until just tender. Add the cumin and fry for a minute, add the tomatoes and harissa and bubble everything together until it thickens slightly. Season well. Stir in the prawns and cook for 3 minutes, then scatter the coriander over. Serve with the couscous.
