Description

A delicious and easy-to-make Chilli Garlic Prawn Pasta that combines the flavors of garlic, chili, and fresh shrimp.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
  5. Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook for about 2 minutes.
  6. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  7. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream after adding the shrimp back to the skillet.
  • Substitute shrimp with scallops or chicken for a different protein option.
