Chilli Garlic Prawn Pasta

Posted 2014-11-21 by Jac's Veghead ⇒ follow

Garlic prawns is a classic dish loved by all prawn eating Australians. I have swapped the crusty bread for fettucini and added some fresh chilli for a nice bite but of course this sauce can be eaten traditionally.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients
100g dried pasta
1/4 cup butter
2 garlic cloves - crushed
1 fresh chilli
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
300g prawns (peeled weight)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

Boil a pot of water and put your pasta on to cook.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Once bubbling add the minced garlic and diced chilli.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the raw prawns and cook turning the prawns for 3 to 4 minutes or until the prawns turn pink and are almost cooked.
