Garlic Prawn Pasta Recipes

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring to boil a large pot of water. Add pasta and cook per packet MINUS 1 minute. (Note 5).
• Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and set aside. Drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add prawns and cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Remove prawns.
• In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter. Once melted, add garlic. Stir for 20 seconds until fragrant.
• Add wine and stir. Simmer for 2 minutes until wine mostly reduces (see video).
• Add cream, broth and parmesan. Stir until the parmesan is melted, then leave to simmer for 1 1/2 minutes until it thickens slightly (will thicken more in next step).
• Add prawns, stir, then add pasta plus about 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water. Toss pasta (still on stove) and the sauce will thicken in about 30 - 45 seconds and start clinging to the pasta.
• Take it off the stove before the sauce is as thick as you want - it will thicken more.
• Sprinkle with most of the parsley and black pepper, check salt (I don't need more). Toss again until the sauce consistency is to your taste. Add a tiny splash of pasta water if it gets too gluggy.
• Serve immediately, garnished with remaining parsley and parmesan if desired.

GARLIC AND CHILL PRAWN PASTA

Steps:

• Boil a kettle and pour water into a large pot over a high temperature. Add a good pinch of salt and add your pasta. While the pasta is cooking, heat your olive oil in a large pan. Throw in your cherry tomatoes and cook for three minutes stirring constantly. Add your prawns, garlic, chilli, lemon zest, half of your lemon juice and the capers. Cook until prawns have turned a lovely orange colour.
• When your pasta is aldenté, take it straight from the pot using tongs and add it to the pan with the prawns and tomatoes. Lower the heat of the pan so it stays warm but will not burn the ingredients while you toss it all together with the remainder or the lemon juice and a good lug of olive oil.
• Serve with torn basil leaves and freshly grated parmesan.
