Instructions
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta for 12-14 minutes until al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, peel and finely slice the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
- On a fresh chopping board, roughly chop the prawns.
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and gently fry the garlic with the paprika and chilli flakes, until the garlic starts to turn golden.
- Add the prawns, increase the heat and fry until they are pink all over.
- Drain the pasta and save a splash of cooking water. Tip the pasta and extra pasta water into the pan with the prawns. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss well.
- Serve immediately, scattered with parsley.
Notes
Sweet prawns in a slick of spiced garlic oil is the perfect addition to freshly cooked pasta. Add slices of sourdough toast and serve in deep bowls for instant comfort.
