Ingredients
- 100g spaghetti
- 100g prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add prawns and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Sauté until fragrant, roughly 1 minute, but don’t burn that garlic!
- Pour in white wine and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and prawns to the pan. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese if using.
Suggestions
- Substitute the prawns with chicken or tofu for a different twist.
- If you’re feeling fancy, add some cherry tomatoes or spinach for extra color and nutrients.
- Be careful with the chili flakes! A little goes a long way, unless you’re part dragon.
- Garnish with lemon zest for an extra zingy finish.
