Creamy Pink Prawn Linguine

Serves 4-5 people

Ingredients: 

  • 1 pack Wild Peeled Argentinian Pink Prawns
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup olive oil 
  • 5 garlic cloves minced 
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest of ½ lemon 
  • 1 cup fresh chopped parsley 
  • Red chilli flakes 
  • ½ tsp paprika 
  • 500g linguine 
  • Salt and pepper 

Method: 

  1. Boil the linguine according to the instructions on the packet. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. 
  2. Place a large pan on medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. 
  3. Once the butter has melted add the minced garlic and the prawns.
  4. Fry till the prawns turn pink (ensure the prawns long enough to just turn pink and not longer as that will make them rubbery) 
  5. Now lower the heat and add the lemon juice, zest, paprika, salt & pepper, pasta water and parsley. 
  6. Allow to cook while stirring for a couple of mins.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and garnish with chilli flakes (depending on how spicy you like it) and more parsley.
