Creamy Garlic Prawns Jamie Oliver Food

CREAMY PRAWN LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, peel and finely slice the garlic. Run your knife down the back of 2 prawns, so they'll butterfly as they cook, then finely chop the rest.
• Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Finely slice the pancetta, sprinkle into the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry until lightly golden. Toss in the garlic and whole prawns for 2 minutes, then go in with the wine and let it cook away. Toss through the chopped prawns and mascarpone for 1 minute, then use tongs to drag the pasta straight into the pan, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it. Roughly chop the rocket, add most of it to the pan and toss it all together over the heat until you have a silky sauce. Subtly season to perfection with the Parmesan and black pepper. Serve sprinkled with the remaining rocket and an extra grating of Parmesan, if you like.

PATSY'S GARLIC & CHILLI PRAWNS

Steps:

• Peel the prawns, removing the heads and leaving the tails on. Run the tip of a knife down the backs of the peeled prawns and pull out and discard the dark vein.
• Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli (deseed if you like). Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves.
• Drizzle the oil into a shallow heatproof terracotta dish or a small frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the garlic and chilli and fry for 30 seconds to flavour the oil, before stirring in the paprika.
• Add the prawns and fry for 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, adding most of the parsley when you turn the prawns.
• Squeeze half the lemon juice into the dish, then remove from the heat and sprinkle over the remaining parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
• Serve sizzling with warm crusty bread, the remaining lemon cut wedges for squeezing over, and a glass of good Spanish wine.
