The most delicious and vibrant Shrimp Spaghetti made with spicy 'Nduja (Calabrian salami), zesty lemon and fresh parsley in a simple tomato sauce. This recipe is really easy to make and is full of flavour, ready in just 20 minutes!

Ready in less than 30 minutes, this Garlic Prawn (Shrimp) Olive Oil Spaghetti recipe is ideal for busy nights when you want something restaurant-style but without the effort or cost. Freezer prawns (shrimp) are cooked in a simple lemony, garlicky sauce with spaghetti to create a family-friendly dish that’s special enough to serve to guests.

Garlic Prawn (Shrimp) Olive Oil Spaghetti

80 ml extra-virgin olive oil,

garlic cloves, finely sliced (not minced)

½ tsp chilli (red pepper) flakes (optional)

250 g cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ tsp sea salt flakes,

¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper,

g chopped flat-leaf parsley,

(optional)

Easy Rocket (Arugula) and Parmesan Salad, Freezer-friendly Garlic Bread

Cook the pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil (1½ tablespoons of salt per 4 litres/quarts of water) and cook the spaghetti until just al dente. Reserve 250 ml (1 cup) of the pasta cooking water before draining.

Make the sauce – In a large, deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and chilli flakes (if using). Cook gently, stirring often, for 1–2 minutes until the garlic turns light golden and fragrant. If it starts browning too quickly, lift the pan off the heat – burnt garlic becomes bitter fast!

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and the salt and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices. Gently press a few tomatoes with the back of your spoon to help them melt into the sauce.

Add the prawns – Increase the heat to medium and add the prawns directly into the pan. Cook for 60–90 seconds on each side until pink and cooked through. Toss the prawns regularly, using tongs, so they cook evenly and pick up the flavour from the tomatoes and garlic.

Add the pasta – Add the drained pasta directly to the pan with the prawns and tomatoes. Pour in 125 ml (½ cup) of the reserved pasta water and toss until the sauce becomes glossy and coats the spaghetti. Add more pasta water as needed to loosen – it should look silky, not dry.

Finish the dish – Turn off the heat and stir through the lemon juice and parsley. Taste and adjust with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice to brighten.

Serve – Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, scatter over more parsley, and finish with parmesan and extra pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lemon.

Made this and it was absolutely delicious! So easy to make &amp; amazing flavours. Had it for leftovers the next day &amp; just as good.

I made this dish last night &amp; it was so delicious! We love chilli so I did add a sprinkle more. I used frozen prawns as suggested, so quick &amp; easy no peeling or deveining green prawns yay. My husband said this is restaurant quality, he has already asked when  am I making it again 🤩

Absolutely delicious! Was worried it would be bland but it wasn't! The sliced garlic definitely works! Thank you 😊

One of the easiest and tastiest pasta recipes I’ve ever made. Both me and my husband loved it. 10/10

Fresh, zesty, light and delicious! Family loved it !

This is my go-to when I want something a little fancy without actually working for it. Garlic, olive oil, lemon and frozen prawns come together in under 30 minutes to make a silky, fresh, restaurant-style pasta that tastes way more impressive than it is. It’s mild enough for kids, quick enough for busy nights, and perfect for entertaining too.
