Easy garlic prawn pasta

Step 1

Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Ensure to season the water with salt. About 1 tbsp.

Step 2

Whilst pasta is cooking, mix prawn marinade with prawns and set aside.

Step 3

Once pasta is cooked to al dente, drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.

Step 4

Saute marinated prawns with 2 tbsp of olive oil on a large, non-stick pan on medium/high heat. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Squeeze in lemon juice, stir for 10 seconds then mix in cooked pasta and reserved pasta cooking water. Stir thoroughly for 1 minute. (Note 2)

Step 6

By now, the pasta cooking water should have been mostly absorbed.

Step 7

Turn heat off, mix in parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. I like to go heavy on the pepper.

Step 8

Serve immediately, with a wedge of lemon.
